There are several types of prolapse: 1  Cystocele--tissues between the vagina and bladder weaken, and the bladder falls into the vagina. 2  Rectocele--tissues between the vagina and rectum weaken, and the rectum falls into the vagina. 3  Enterocele--the small bowel falls through the apex of the vagina, often after a hysterectomy.
In cases where the ovaries are removed during the hysterectomy, this causes the body to almost immediately go into premature menopause (only if the woman has not already gone through menopause). This is called surgical menopause and occurs because of the sudden loss of estrogen hormones. The symptoms that are experienced during surgical menopause are often more severe and frequent than regular menopause. Usually these symptoms are controlled using hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
