Surgical treatment of uterine prolapse

If you suffer from uterine prolapse, you will want to know what the surgical treatment method is. Instead of waiting for others to tell you, it is better to spend a little more time and understand your own physical condition. With the development of technology, it is not difficult to find certain diseases. Now let us learn what uterine prolapse is and how to treat it! I hope everyone will always pay attention to their physical condition and never take things for granted.

1. Definition of uterine prolapse

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.

2. Causes of uterine prolapse

Injuries caused by childbirth (such as giant babies, difficult labor, etc.), 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). Age and organ aging, coupled with a decrease in the female hormone estrogen, cause the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) to lose tension and the uterine ligaments to gradually degenerate and atrophy. Uterine prolapse may also be a sequelae after various pelvic surgeries. Even without the above experience, congenital weakness and relaxation of the pelvic muscles can also cause uterine prolapse.

3. Examination and treatment of uterine prolapse

The symptoms caused by uterine prolapse are based on the fact that the uterus is a bag-like tissue that nurtures the fetus during pregnancy. It is usually fixed in the pelvic cavity, but once it sags due to various reasons, it will cause various uncomfortable symptoms. Including: feeling of pressure in the pelvic cavity and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Feeling pain in the lower back. Pain during sexual intercourse. Because there is a bladder in front of the uterus and a rectum behind it, once it sags, urination or defecation problems may occur. Severe patients may feel a bulge in their lower body. Severe patients may have difficulty walking due to uterine prolapse. In addition, certain inspections should be done. Instruct the patient not to urinate and assume the lithotomy position. During the examination, the patient is first asked to cough or exhale to increase abdominal pressure, and observe whether urine overflows from the urethra to determine whether there is stress urinary incontinence. The bladder is then emptied and a gynecological examination is performed. First, pay attention to vaginal wall prolapse and uterine prolapse without exerting force. And pay attention to the condition of the vulva and the degree of perineal rupture. Use a vaginal speculum to observe whether the vaginal wall and cervix are ulcerated, and whether there is rectouterine hernia. During intravaginal examination, attention should be paid to the condition of the anal levator muscles on both sides, the width of the anal levator muscle fissure, the position of the cervix, and then the size of the uterus, its position in the pelvic cavity, and whether there is inflammation or tumor in the appendages. Finally, the patient is advised to apply abdominal pressure and, if necessary, squat to make the uterus prolapse and then perform palpation to determine the extent of uterine prolapse.

After reading the above information about surgical treatment of uterine prolapse, I believe everyone has understood that in addition to surgical treatment, daily care is also essential. Female friends with uterine prolapse can do appropriate exercise. When you get up in the morning or go to bed at night, you can take 10 minutes to do high leg raises or bicycle movements. Long-term persistence will have a good effect on alleviating uterine prolapse.
