Prolapse
Prolapse is a medical condition where organs that usually stay up in the body, such as the bladder, uterus, and bowels, drop down and sag into the vagina. It is caused by weakened muscles and ligaments that support the pelvic organs and is common in women who have given birth. Symptoms can include pelvic pressure, bladder and bowel problems, and a feeling of heaviness in the vagina. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medical devices, and in severe cases, surgery. Prolapse is not life-threatening, but it can have a dramatic impact on a woman's quality of life and may affect her relationship with her partner. With timely diagnosis and proper treatment, prolapse can be managed effectively.

Colorectal cancer is cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is the lower part of the body's digestive system. During digestion, food moves through the stomach and small intestine into the colon. The colon absorbs water and nutrients from the food and stores waste matter (stool).
