Why does uterine prolapse occur?

Uterine prolapse is also called uterine shedding. Generally speaking, the uterus will sink into our vagina. At this time, the uterus will slowly block our vagina and we will not be able to have sexual intercourse or menstruation. Gradually, it will cause various inflammations and diseases in our body. Let me introduce why uterine prolapse occurs, how to prevent it and what you should pay attention to!

Uterine prolapse is also called uterine prolapse. The inner wall of the uterus cannot contract and recover well, and it sags into the vagina. In severe cases, it may extend outside the body. The common symptoms of uterine prolapse include at least a feeling of falling (the feeling that something is about to fall out of the lower abdomen), usually back pain, and in severe cases, it can affect the bladder and rectum, causing frequent urination, incomplete urination, or constipation. Uterine prolapse may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Injury caused by childbirth (such as giant babies, difficult labor, etc.) 2. Too high pressure in the abdominal cavity (such as excessive obesity, long-term cough, constipation, or tumor compression in the pelvic cavity, which will increase the abdominal cavity pressure). 3. Age and organ aging, plus the decrease of female hormone estrogen, cause the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) to lose tension, and the uterine ligaments gradually degenerate and atrophy. 4. Uterine prolapse may also be a sequelae after various pelvic surgeries. 5. Even if you do not have the above experience, congenital weakness and relaxation of the pelvic muscles can also cause uterine prolapse.

For patients with symptomatic retroverted uterus, the key to treatment is to reposition the uterus. Commonly used methods of uterine reduction include bimanual reduction method, triple-manual reduction method, cervical clamp traction reduction method, chest-knee supine position reduction method, and surgical reduction method. After manual reduction, the patient is required to do chest-knee position exercises 1-2 times a day after emptying the bowels and bladder, each time for 10-15 minutes. This is crucial to consolidate the effect of uterine reduction. Chest-knee position exercises can also prevent the occurrence of posterior displacement of the uterus after delivery, but they must be performed half a month after delivery. If manual reduction is unsuccessful, surgical reduction can be used. The surgical method is mainly to shorten the round ligament and change the uterus into an anteverted and anteflexed position.

In daily life, friends who suffer from uterine prolapse must rest in bed in time. The key to treatment is to let our uterus recover and return to where it belongs. So why does uterine prolapse occur? It is because of carelessness in daily life or after childbirth.
