Treatment of Asymptomatic Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Some women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are asymptomatic. This means that even though they have some degree of pelvic organ prolapse, they are not experiencing any symptoms. The most common way that women who are asymptomatic find out they have pelvic organ prolapse is through a doctor’s visit at an annual examination (e.g. a gynecologist). Doctors through various examination methods are able to diagnose the condition without the patient experiencing symptoms. It is also possible that the patient may have experience signs of prolapse but did not connect it to the condition. For example, gradually being unable to insert a tampon. So what happens if your doctor tell you that you have pelvic organ prolapse but you are not experiencing any symptoms? Are there any treatments for asymptomatic pelvic organ prolapse?
