b) Urethrocele, prolapsed uterus, vault prolapse
c) Cystocele, rectocele, cystourethrocele
d) Vault prolapse, procidentia, uterine inversion

Answer 1

The three types of apical vaginal prolapse are cystocele, rectocele, and enterocele.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of apical vaginal prolapse:

1. Cystocele: This occurs when the wall between the bladder and the vagina weakens, causing the bladder to bulge into the vagina.
2. Rectocele: This occurs when the wall between the rectum and the vagina weakens, causing the rectum to bulge into the vagina.
3. Enterocele: This occurs when the small intestine bulges into the vagina, typically due to weakened pelvic floor muscles.
