Prolapse and I’m terrified

A couple of years ago I went to the GP because I suspected I had a minor bladder prolapse.I was referred on, diagnosed with a minor cervical ectropian and a very minor bladder prolapse. Advised to keep on top of pelvic floor exercises (which admittedly I’ve been bad at). Discharged from the hospital.
A week or so ago I started getting an odd twitching/throbbing feeling inside my vagina, thought maybe a muscle twitch, or something hormonal as I’m due on.
Past few days however the feeling has become a dragging heavy feeling and a constant feeling like something is in there. I’ve had a look and a feel and it’s looking awful. It’s like all my insides have dropped and I’m terrified. The NHS website seems so blasé about it but I feel like I need to keep my legs crossed in case my insides fall out. I plan to get to the GP next week but I’m scared. Hoping someone can give me some reassurance.

@colouringindoors could you send me the link to the lady your recommending please I'm in the same area as you, thank you

I brought a kegal8 machine Altho great it can't lift something once the bulge is passed a certain point which is so annoying as £200 later I expected more from it ,
