What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse?

Many women always suffer from uterine prolapse due to various reasons. Some people simply think that they are overworked and do not realize that it is uterine prolapse. Some people even don’t know what is going on when they have uterine prolapse. What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse? Let me tell you in detail, I hope my introduction will satisfy you.

1. Pain in the lumbar and sacral region, especially in the sacral region, which is more obvious after labor 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 prolapsed mass The patient reported that a spherical object prolapsed from the vagina, which was more obvious when walking or doing physical labor, and returned to the original position on its own after bed rest. 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 force, 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 Due to pelvic organ prolapse, blood circulation disorders and local congestion affect normal menstruation and may cause excessive menstruation. In addition, due to blood circulation disorders, prolapse of organs may cause ulcers and infections, resulting in increased leucorrhea and bloody secretions.

5. Generally, it does not affect conception, pregnancy and delivery. However, if the uterus prolapses and cannot be reduced, cervical edema may occur after delivery, and the cervix may be difficult to dilate, leading to dystocia.

After reading the above text, I believe you have realized under what circumstances uterine prolapse will occur. If you have the above symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. Generally speaking, if the symptoms are mild, you only need to take some medicine to treat it, but if it is serious, surgery is required to solve the problem.
