It depends on what stage it is at because it will start to fall through the Vagina and cause many other symtoms as well. For example:
First degree: The cervix droops into the vagina.
Second degree: The cervix sticks to the opening of the vagina.
Third degree: The cervix is outside the vagina.
Fourth degree: The entire uterus is outside the vagina. This condition is also called procidentia. This is caused by weakness in all of the supporting muscles.
Other conditions are usually associated with prolapsed uterus. They weaken the muscles that hold the uterus in place:
Cystocele: A herniation (or bulging) of the upper front vaginal wall where a part of bladder bulges into the vagina, which may lead to urinary frequency, urgency, retention, and incontinence.
Enterocele: The herniation of the upper rear vaginal wall where a small bowel portion bulges into the vagina. Standing leads to a pulling sensation and backache and is relieved when you lie down.
Rectocele: The herniation of the lower rear vaginal wall where the rectum bulges into the vagina. This makes bowel movements difficult to the point that you may need to push on the inside of your vagina to empty your bowel.
If you know how far it is prolasped then you can make a better informed decision.
Good Luck :-)

Leave out the surgery and filling his coffers. The Chinese squat, to aid in leaky bladder, when you do this action, do your 'lift' exercise and hold it. A hysterectomy will only make this matter worse. Once you have had this there is definitely no going back, why not see if you can fix the problem yourself. It will take some time to fix, as it took time to develop, there is no 'quick fix solution'. Voltaire said 205 years ago: Physicians pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, into humans of which they know nothing. Has anything changed since?

I think it depends on your life situation because you will need to be off work for about 6 weeks and will be laid up for a while. You do have some time so you can do a bit of planning to make this convenient (if there really is such a thing). I would strongly suggest that you wait until winter - or at least until this heat wave is over. Hot flashes are a real b***h!

Better to have it taken care of before it turns into something more serious.
