What are the clinical manifestations of uterine prolapse?

Many women experience uterine prolapse after childbirth, which is due to failure to protect their uterus during delivery. Many women are not particularly familiar with the phenomenon of uterine prolapse. In fact, female friends should pay attention to this problem. Because the uterus is a very important part for women, let us take a look at the clinical manifestations of uterine prolapse. I hope all female friends can take good care of their bodies.

What are the clinical manifestations of uterine prolapse?

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. It can be divided into 3 degrees according to the degree of prolapse:

1. Ⅰ degree

It means that the level of the external cervical os is lower than the level of the ischial spine, but the cervix and uterine body are still located in the vagina. This degree of uterine prolapse does not require treatment and can be recovered by resting.

2. II degree

It means that the cervix has protruded out of the vaginal opening, but the uterus or part of the uterus is still in the vagina. However, because the range involved is too large, in mild cases only the cervix may protrude from the vaginal opening, while in severe cases the cervix may be elongated, causing the entire elongated cervix and vaginal wall to protrude from the vaginal opening.

Grade II uterine prolapse is divided into mild and severe types: ① Grade II mild type: the cervix and part of the anterior vaginal wall prolapse out of the vaginal opening. ② Grade II severe cervix, part of the uterine body, and most or all of the anterior vaginal wall protrude from the vaginal opening.

3. Grade III

It means that the entire uterine body, cervix, the entire anterior vaginal wall and part of the posterior vaginal wall are protruding out of the vaginal opening.

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 laceration.

Use a vaginal speculum to observe whether the vaginal wall and cervix are ulcerated, and whether there is rectouterine hernia. During internal 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 severe uterine prolapse. The uterus should be returned for examination to determine the size of the uterus, its position in the pelvic cavity, and whether there is inflammation or tumor in the appendages.

The above content is about the clinical manifestations of uterine prolapse in female friends. I believe that many women already have a certain understanding. After fully mastering such manifestations, if they have the above phenomena, it means that they have uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse is very serious, so female friends should not ignore it and must seek timely treatment.
