Hallow Dear,
Utero-vaginal prolapse is a combined result of :
1. Weakening of the pelvic muscles
2. Sustained or chronic increased intra-abdominal pressure.
Since you are having bronchiectasis and tuberculosis, the cough is a chronic ailment which is responsible for your utero-vaginal prolapse due to chronically increased intra-abdominal pressure.
I would advise you to get your tuberculosis and bronchiectasis cured before you opt for the prolapse surgery. If these ailments remain, the surgery will be of temporary relief and the prolapse will recur. Even if the uterus is removed, the vaginal vault will prolapse later when tuberculosis cough and bronchiectasis is untreated.
I hope you got the message and correct advise.
