Women in Nepal know very little about their basic rights, including their reproductive health rights. Most women suffering from uterine prolapse have no access to information about their condition.

Therefore, women do not seek out treatment or talk to others regarding the issue. Some women go decades before learning about prolapse and how to treat it. Meanwhile, their prolapse progresses to the point where the only treatment option available will be surgery.

Because of this lack of knowledge and awareness, there is confusion about what uterine prolapse is and whether or not there is treatment. Many women believe that uterine prolapse is what every woman goes through; it is a natural part of life. Others hope that the problem will go away on its own.
