I have a prolapse. Should it be treated?
If a prolapse is causing problems for you treatment is advisable. In deed, the only reason to treat a prolapse is to alleviate symptoms.
Many women have lax vaginal walls but are not aware of any problems: they may, for instance, be told that they have a prolapse when they are examined at a well woman clinic. If there are no symptoms there is probably no reason to recommend surgery. For reassurance, a further examination at six monthly or yearly intervals may be sensible.
