Is uterine prolapse a serious problem for women?

If women do not receive good care after childbirth, they are likely to suffer from uterine prolapse. They will generally feel a sense of discomfort as their lower abdomen falls, and there will also be some swelling and pain, and their waist will feel sore and swollen. Sometimes, excessive menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period may be related to uterine prolapse. Here, I will introduce some causes and treatments that may easily cause uterine prolapse.

1. Can you get pregnant if you have uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse has a certain impact on women's pregnancy. Uterine prolapse is divided into three degrees. Generally, patients with degree I or II uterine prolapse still have the possibility of pregnancy. If handled properly, it is still possible to become pregnant after treatment. However, it still has a certain impact on childbirth after pregnancy.

Patients with severe uterine prolapse often suffer from infertility. This is because semen is not easy to accumulate in the posterior fornix of the vagina, and patients with uterine prolapse often have complications such as cervical hypertrophy and chronic cervicitis.

2. Uterine prolapse can lead to excessive menstruation

The posterior tilt of the uterus can often cause the ovaries and fallopian tubes to sag backward and downward. Variations in the position of the ovaries and fallopian tubes can cause twisting of the pelvic veins, poor blood flow, and pelvic venous congestion, leading to menorrhagia, abdominal distension, back pain, and some women may also experience symptoms such as pain during sexual intercourse.

3. Uterine prolapse can cause dysmenorrhea

The shape of the retroverted uterus is like a teapot, the cervical canal is like the spout of the teapot, and the uterine body is like the body of the teapot. The cervix, which serves as the spout of the teapot, is located higher than the uterine cavity, which serves as the body of the teapot. The menstrual blood in the uterine cavity is difficult to be discharged from the "bottom of the teapot" through the cervical canal. In order to expel the menstrual blood in the "pot", the only way to force the menstrual blood out is to strengthen the contraction of the uterus and compress the volume of the uterine cavity as much as possible. Therefore, women with a retroverted uterus often experience dysmenorrhea due to spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles.

4. Uterine prolapse can lead to endometriosis

Uterine prolapse can lead to endometriosis in women. As mentioned earlier, women with a retroverted uterus often need to strengthen uterine contractions during menstruation to force menstrual blood out of the body through the cervical canal. Intensified uterine contractions will inevitably cause increased pressure in the uterine cavity. Under the action of high pressure, part of the menstrual blood may flow back through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis.

Therefore, when women feel uncomfortable, especially when some of the phenomena described above occur, it is best to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time. If uterine prolapse is found, treatment should be sought in time. At the same time, some dietary therapy methods can also be used for auxiliary treatment. For example, use 30 grams of old loofah shells, burn them into ashes, take 10 grams each time, three times a day with white wine, it will have a certain effect.
