If you’ve had your uterus removed in the past and are now feeling a heaviness or a bulge in your vaginal area, it could be something called a vault prolapse. It happens when the top part of the vagina, which once had the support of the uterus, starts to shift or sag downward.
It’s not something many women expect to face after a hysterectomy and when it happens, it can feel confusing, uncomfortable, or even a little unsettling. But you’re not alone in this. And you’re not doing anything wrong.
At Dr Sidapara Sankalp Hospital, we understand how this can feel, both physically and emotionally. Our goal is to gently lift and support the vaginal walls with care that’s effective but never harsh. So you can feel steady, comfortable, and confident in your body again.
After a hysterectomy, even though the uterus is no longer there, the top part of the vagina still needs support. Normally, nearby muscles and tissues hold everything in place, but over time, those supports can weaken. When that happens, the top of the vagina (called the vault) can start to drop or bulge downward.
You might notice:
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and it’s something we can help with, gently and respectfully.
Vault prolapse can vary from mild to more severe. We might begin with conservative treatments like pelvic floor exercises or a pessary. But when the symptoms start to get in the way of daily life, surgery can offer a steady, long-term solution.
Surgery may be recommended if:
Vault prolapse repair is done using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. We restore support to the vaginal walls by attaching the top of the vagina to strong internal structures using sutures or mesh, depending on what’s safest and most suitable for your body.
