Genitourinary prolapse is one of the major entity in urogynecology. It massively affects quality of life. Prolapse occurring with concomitant multiple vesicle calculi is not a very common occurrence. Only a few case reports have been reported in literature so far. Long-standing prolapse with chronic bladder infection can result in formation of bladder stones. These may result in large and multiple bladder calculi producing acute incarceration and obstructive uropathy. In this case series we aim to report three cases of multiple vesicle calculi in genitourinary prolapse. In first case there are two bladder stones in a postmenopausal patient. Second case describes multiple vesicle calculi in an incarcerated prolapse. In third case, there were multiple vesicle calculi in a vault prolapse patient.
