A Dr can check for prolapse by a simple manual pelvic exam. I'm not exactly sure what specific test this person would be referring to. Maybe someone will come along who can better inform you.
Meanwhile you could always call the office and ask for specifics.

stay well

maybe urodymanics to see if you are leaking and may need a bladder sling?

Cystocele is the term Dr's use regarding bladder prolapse. Its a diagnosis, not a test, just for the record.

good luck at your appt
