I had to google it since I'm a Dane and medical terminology in English isn't my forte exactly *g* It's called a prolapse, which is a general term I believe, for when organs move out of place.
Normally it won't fall all the way out of course, but it can drop enough to be visible between the labia.
This page (http://www.femalehealthmadesimple.com/Prolapse.html) seemed informative and it only contains line drawings. Trust me, photographs are too scary *shudders*
The reason Kegel's are so important - apart from preventing incontinence and giving us better sex lives - is that they help strengthen the ligaments that keep everything inside of us in place.
It's quite common, especially if you have many children and also if you do not remember to tighten your PC muscles when you lift and such.
