What are the complications of uterine prolapse?

Most women will experience uterine prolapse after giving birth or when they do not pay attention to their health. If women do not pay attention at this time, it may cause some complications. However, most people do not know about this aspect. This is a very dangerous phenomenon, because if you don’t understand it, you don’t know how to regulate it, and it will become more and more serious.

1. Lumbar pain, especially in the sacral area, is more obvious after work and can be relieved by resting in bed. In addition, patients feel a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, vagina, and perineum, which is aggravated by fatigue.

2. Vaginal prolapse

The patient reported that a spherical object had prolapsed from the vagina, which was more obvious when she was walking or doing physical labor, and returned on its own after she rested in bed. In severe cases of prolapse, the prolapse remains outside all day and cannot be fixed by itself. When walking, the prolapse causes friction with clothes, causing discomfort. Long-term friction may lead to ulcers, infection, increased secretions, and even bleeding. Over time, the local tissue may become thickened and keratinized.

3. Urinary tract symptoms

For most patients with uterine prolapse, when they laugh, cough violently, or exert themselves, the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, causing urinary incontinence and urine overflow. Uterine prolapse is often accompanied by varying degrees of cystocele, but whether stress urinary incontinence occurs depends on whether the anatomical relationship between the bladder and urethra is changed.

A small number of patients with uterine prolapse have difficulty urinating, which leads to urinary retention. They need to push the bulging bladder forward with their fingers before they can urinate. The cause is severe cystocele, where the enlarged bladder is located below the urethra.

4. Menstrual changes and excessive leucorrhea are caused by pelvic organ prolapse, which leads to blood circulation disorders and local congestion, affecting normal menstruation and causing excessive menstruation.

In short, there are many complications of uterine prolapse, and the above are only a small part of them. Therefore, you must pay attention to your body in your daily life. Once you encounter uterine prolapse, you must seek timely treatment and conditioning, so that your body can slowly recover and will not delay your life and work.
