Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Surgical correction may not be possible at this age due to Anaesthesia complication. You can try pessaries which can keep prolapsed bladder in place. Pelvic floor exercises can also be tried.
Consult a urogynecologist for expert opinion. She will teach you to keep a pessary and pelvic floor exercises to keep bladder in place.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
