Symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has been increasing in recent years for both developed and developing countries. By 2050, as the adult population grows, the number of women with symptomatic POP will increase by 46%. Due to the increasing number of complications after surgery among women with POP, the current understanding of treatment has become extremely important for researchers and practitioners. There are many novel conservative and surgical treatment approaches under investigation. However, some primary surgical treatments show an approximate 30–50% risk of repeated pelvic floor reconstruction. Therefore, the review aims to summarize several conservative treatment options and identify critical areas of need for future research.
