Don't worry, it is not a major life threatening problem..it is manageable and curable..it will not affect your marriage or sexual life..once prolapsed cannot be pushed back by any method of treatment..If your doctor says it doesn't require surgery , it should nt be a major bulge.. If you want to know more send all your images in private consulting area and based on the report I will guide you.. You need to do back muscle strengthening exercises to prevent further slip and back pain
