You really need to ask these questions of her Gynecologist.

In general, the ring is just to hold it in, so that she can get about. If it is a total prolapse,(sounds like it is), it can't get worse. Her symptoms might but the prolapse won't Hormones depend on many things. Trip depends on how she is doing at that time air travel shouldn't make it worse.
