N99: Postprocedural disorders of genitourinary system, not elsewhere classified
N99.3: Prolapse of vaginal vault after hysterectomy
The vagina is tubular and leads from the outside to the uterus. The uterus or womb sits in the pelvis and is pear-shaped. The narrower part extends downward into the vagina and is called the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the child grows in her uterus.
Your uterus was removed at some point in the past. If the uterus is removed, the top part of your vagina is sewn together inside the abdomen. However, the vagina is no longer firmly attached in the abdomen and can move. As a result, your vagina has partially or completely slipped outside of the body.
You may experience pain as a result. You may also experience problems during sex, or be unable to urinate properly.
