- A feeling of pelvic fullness, pressure or pain
- Low back pain that eases when you lie down
- A soft bulge of tissue in your vagina
- Vaginal discharge and bleeding
- Vaginal discomfort and painful intercourse (dyspareunia)

- Cystocele, in which your bladder bulges into your vagina
- Uterine prolapse, in which your uterus descends into your vagina
