Women with mild prolapse reported that pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) helped to alleviate symptoms, in a study in primary care. Overall, 287 women, aged 55 or over, with symptomatic uterovaginal prolapse to, but not beyond, the hymenal remnants were recruited to the study from 15 general practices in Groningen, the Netherlands. Symptoms included vaginal bulging, a feeling of heaviness or urinary difficulties or incontinence.
