These structures act like a supportive hammock that holds the uterus in place. When they weaken or become stretched, the uterus descends downward and may protrude into the vagina, or in severe cases, outside the vaginal opening. This is called uterine prolapse.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"direction: ltr;\">Grades of uterine prolapse<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">Mild prolapse: the uterus has dropped slightly but remains within the vagina.<\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">Moderate prolapse: the uterus descends further and the cervix may be palpable at the vaginal entrance.<\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">Severe prolapse: the uterus protrudes outside the vaginal opening.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"direction: ltr;\">Who is at higher risk<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">Women with
