Does uterine prolapse affect pregnancy?

Some women often experience increased vaginal discharge and lower abdominal distension and pain. During a gynecological examination, the doctor tells them that they have uterine prolapse. Women who want to have children are often worried, but uterine prolapse will affect future pregnancies. So, will uterine prolapse affect pregnancy? What causes uterine prolapse? What should you pay attention to in your daily life?

Uterine prolapse is a common gynecological disease in life. In mild cases, the cervix will fall into the vagina. In severe cases, the cervix will fall into the vulva. In more serious cases, even the entire uterus will extend out of the vagina. Uterine prolapse is caused by damage to the pelvic floor supporting tissue and relaxation of the ligaments, which causes the uterus to lose support and descend toward the vagina. There are many reasons for uterine prolapse in life, the most common ones include birth injuries, long-term squatting, standing or lifting heavy objects, etc.

Will uterine prolapse affect pregnancy? Mild uterine prolapse will not affect the body, and of course it will not affect pregnancy, but you must pay attention to get more rest. Do not do strenuous activities, let alone physical work such as lifting heavy objects. When uterine prolapse is severe, it will have a certain impact on pregnancy. Because the uterus prolapses downward, sometimes accompanied by bulging of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina, semen is not easy to accumulate in the vagina, or the position of the cervical opening changes, so that the cervix cannot be immersed in semen, reducing the chance of sperm entering the cervical canal, reducing fertility, and conception is of course difficult to achieve. Women with uterine prolapse are prone to miscarriage when they become pregnant, so women who want to become pregnant should seek timely treatment and wait until they are cured before getting pregnant.

It can be seen from this that mild uterine prolapse will not affect future pregnancy, but you should pay attention to getting more rest, avoid lifting heavy objects, avoid standing for long periods of time, etc., so as not to make the uterine prolapse more serious, which may affect pregnancy. If the uterus is severely prolapsed, you must see a doctor for treatment in time.
