The problem of uterine shedding in the elderly

The uterus is the place where the baby is raised. When a woman's body ages, various organs and functions may change. In addition to some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, elderly women may also suffer from gynecological diseases. Do young people understand this? Do we pay attention to our mothers? Let's take a look at the problem of uterine detachment in the elderly.

The uterus has a certain position in the pelvic cavity. If the uterus leaves its normal position and moves downward along the vagina, it is called "uterine prolapse."

If the cervix remains in the vagina after the uterus moves downward, it is medically called grade I prolapse. If the cervix prolapses out of the vaginal opening but the uterus remains in the vagina, it is called grade II prolapse. If the entire uterus prolapses out of the vaginal opening, it is grade III prolapse. Patients with uterine prolapse will feel a lump falling out of the vagina, which is obvious when walking or working. In addition, the patient's lower abdomen. vaginal. There is a feeling of falling in the perineum, accompanied by low back pain. Difficult urination or even urinary incontinence.

The main cause of uterine prolapse is delivery injury, such as premature force applied when the cervix is ​​not fully dilated during delivery, failure to repair perineal tears in time, improper handling of dystocia, etc., which cause the pelvic floor tissue supporting the uterus to relax. Some women go to labor too early after childbirth, and the pelvic floor tissue has not yet returned to normal, which can easily cause uterine prolapse when the abdominal pressure increases. Some women do not experience uterine prolapse when they are young, but develop it after menopause. This is because after menopause, the ovarian function declines, estrogen decreases or is deficient, and supporting structures such as fascia become weak.

relaxation. Atrophy, coupled with age. Low muscle tone. It is caused by weakening of the pelvic floor tissue. Some elderly women have had uterine prolapse since they were young, but the degree of prolapse was mild at the time and they did not notice it. The symptoms worsen after menopause and become obvious. This type of uterine prolapse caused by ovarian dysfunction can also be seen in long-term breastfeeding after childbirth. Women with temporary ovarian dysfunction.

The above are the problems of uterine detachment in the elderly. I wonder if you understand that young people should pay attention to the physical health of the elderly. In fact, their bodies are more fragile. When people get old, various problems will occur. We must discover them in time and then deal with these problems in time to let the elderly spend their old age in health.
