Genital prolapse, also known as pelvic organ prolapse, occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the organs in the pelvis become weak or loose. Here are the common types:
1. Cystocele (Anterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse): The bladder bulges into the front wall of the vagina.
2. Urethrocele: The urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder) bulges into the vaginal wall.
3. Rectocele (Posterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse): The rectum bulges into the back wall of the vagina.
4. Enterocele: The small intestine bulges into the upper portion of the vagina.
5. Uterine Prolapse: The uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
6. Vaginal Vault Prolapse: The top of the vagina (vaginal vault) sags down into the vaginal canal, often occurring after a hysterectomy.
Each type of prolapse can cause different symptoms and may require different treatment approaches.

Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. There are several types of fibroids, classified based on their location within the uterus:
1. Intramural Fibroids: These are the most common type and develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.
2. Subserosal Fibroids: These grow on the outer surface of the uterus and can sometimes develop a stem-like structure, making them pedunculated fibroids.
3. Submucosal Fibroids: These are less common and develop in the inner lining of the uterus, which can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and trouble conceiving.
4. Cervical Fibroids: These are rare and develop in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus.
Each type of fibroid can cause different symptoms and may require different treatment approaches.
