I've been dealing with vaginal prolapse that causes pain when I pee or poop, and it gets even worse during my period. Sometimes it feels itchy too. I'm 5'6 and weigh 82kg could my weight be making it worse? I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there exercises or lifestyle changes that could help reverse it? Also, I'd love to start aerobics or other workouts to lose weight, but I'm worried it might make the prolapse worse. What kind of exercises are safe to do with this condition?

In my opinion first you should consult a gynaecologist personally. That it is prolapse or not. We can't diagnose online.

I'm planning a week-long trip to Goa and I'm worried because my period is supposed to start around the same time. I really want to enjoy the beach without any hassle. Is there a safe way to delay my period for this trip? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can consider taking Norethisterone (brand name Regestrone) to delay your periods. It is a commonly used medication for period delay. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
