What are the symptoms and treatment of uterine prolapse?

Many women, especially those who have just given birth, will experience uterine prolapse after giving birth. If a woman has uterine prolapse and the symptoms are very severe, there will be many adverse effects and timely treatment is required. There are many degrees of prolapse and few people will use surgical treatment. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up.

The main reasons are damage to the cervix, cardinal cervical ligament and uterosacral ligament caused by delivery and failure of supporting tissues to return to normal after delivery. In addition, most women in the postpartum period like to lie on their backs and are prone to chronic urinary retention. The uterus is prone to become posterior, with the axis of the uterus in the same direction as the axis of the vagina. When the abdominal pressure increases, the uterus will descend along the direction of the vagina and prolapse will occur. Postpartum squatting (such as washing diapers, washing vegetables, etc.) can increase abdominal pressure and cause uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse in nulliparous women is caused by poor development of the supporting tissues of the reproductive organs. The patient feels that his abdomen is falling, and the pain is more obvious when he walks and squats. In severe cases, the dislocated mass cannot be put back, affecting his movement.

Due to long-term exposure to the outside, the cervix may develop thickening and keratinization of the mucosal surface or erosion and ulceration. Patients experience increased leucorrhea, which is sometimes pus-like or bloody. Some also experience menstrual disorders and excessive menstrual bleeding. Uterine prolapse is the downward displacement of the uterus along the vagina, and can be divided into three degrees according to the degree of prolapse.

Because the operation will have a certain impact on the subsequent vaginal delivery, it is only suitable for severe cases and women who no longer want to have children. Indications for pessary

Pessaries have long been used to treat uterine prolapse. It can be controlled by the patients themselves, but it is not suitable for patients with severe uterine prolapse and excessive vaginal relaxation.

In addition to treatment, patients should also pay attention to rest. During rest, they can do more exercises to lift the buttocks, exercise the uterus, and let the uterus come up to the stage. Do not stand or sit for a long time, which can easily lead to hemorrhoids and have an adverse effect on uterine prolapse, which is not conducive to treatment. It is also necessary to keep bowel movements unobstructed.
