    Have you had a hysterectomy at some time in the past? Sometimes this can be the cause. If you have suddenly lost a lot of weight maybe your muscle tone in the pelvic floor is not too good.

    It was a vaginal vault prolapse I was diagnosed with. Coincidentally I had just lost approx 5st when I noticed it. I've never asked if that could have caused it.
