Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Vault prolapse ans rectocele needs to be treated. Sacrocolpopexy is a better one to get it done, it basically strengthens pelvic floor muscles.
You can also try pelvic floor strengthening exercises.
Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.

Dr. Vidya
