The three main treatments for uterine prolapse are strengthening pelvic floor muscles, a pessary, or surgery. There a very few published randomized control trials comparing the three treatments. For women who want to avoid surgery, learning pelvic floor exercises can be improved by use of biofeedback instruments placed in the vagina to measure strength of muscle contractions or with the assistance of pelvic floor physical therapy. Surgery, for the woman who is healthy enough otherwise for surgery, is likely to give the most prolonged symptom relief.
