Description

Definition
UTERPROLAPSE indicates whether the respondent has ever experienced signs of uterine prolapse.

The Mayo Clinic website notes that uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments weaken and do not provide enough support to the uterus. Symptoms of uterine prolapse include pelvic discomfort and urinary problems.
