===Pelvic floor prolapse=== The rectum or urinary bladder may prolapse as a result of changes in the integrity of connective tissue in the posterior or anterior vaginal walls, respectively, resulting in [[pelvic floor dysfunction|pelvic floor prolapse]]. Symptoms may include a feeling of pressure in the pelvis, or the visible protrusion of organs from the vagina. Prolapse is almost never painful, but the change in position of organs may cause urinary or bowel symptoms. [[Pessary|Pessaries]] are a treatment option for pelvic organ prolapse.<ref name="AUSFive">{{Citation |author1 = American Urogynecologic Society|author1-link = American Urogynecologic Society |date = May 5, 2015 |title = Five Things Physicians and Patients Should Question |publisher = American Urogynecologic Society |work = [[Choosing Wisely]]: an initiative of the [[ABIM Foundation]] |url = http://www.choosingwisely.org/societies/american-urogynecologic-society/ |access-date = June 1, 2015}}, which cites: *{{cite journal|last1=Culligan|first1=PJ|title=Nonsurgical management of pelvic organ prolapse.|journal=Obstetrics and Gynecology|date=April 2012|volume=119|issue=4|pages=852β60|pmid=22433350|doi=10.1097/aog.0b013e31824c0806|s2cid=21218937}} *{{cite journal|last1=ACOG Committee on Practice|first1=Bulletins--Gynecology|title=ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 85: Pelvic organ prolapse.|journal=Obstetrics and Gynecology|date=September 2007|volume=110|issue=3|pages=717β29|pmid=17766624|doi=10.1097/01.aog.0000263925.97887.72|doi-access=free}}.</ref>
