What does it feel like to have something in your vagina?

Female reproductive organs are very fragile and prone to some diseases and problems, which bring great pressure to life. For example, women often feel abnormal conditions in their genitals, which makes women at a loss. For example, many women usually feel abdominal discomfort and there are foreign objects in their genitals. So, what does it mean to feel something in the genitals? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

Uterine prolapse refers to the uterus descending along the vagina from its normal position, with the external cervical opening reaching below the level of the ischial spine, or even the entire uterus protruding out of the vaginal opening, often accompanied by bulging of the anterior and/or posterior vaginal wall. The anterior and posterior walls of the vagina are adjacent to the bladder and rectum, so uterine prolapse may also be accompanied by bladder urethra and rectal prolapse. Uterine prolapse is related to the relaxation of the ligaments supporting the uterus and the weakening of the pelvic floor support. It is more common in women who have given birth multiple times, are malnourished, or do physical labor. The incidence rate is 1% to 4%.

Causes

1. Delivery injury

It is the main cause of uterine prolapse. Childbirth, especially difficult labor, prolonged second stage of labor or vaginal operative delivery, can easily cause damage to the cervix, cardinal cervical ligament, uterosacral ligament and pelvic floor muscles. If the supporting tissue fails to return to normal after childbirth, uterine prolapse is likely to occur.

Most mothers in the postpartum period like to lie on their backs and are prone to chronic urinary retention. The uterus is prone to become posterior, with the axis of the uterus in the same direction as the axis of the vagina. When the abdominal pressure increases, the uterus will descend along the direction of the vagina and prolapse will occur. Chronic constipation and cough, ascites or abdominal obesity can increase abdominal pressure and cause uterine prolapse.

3. Congenital developmental abnormalities

Uterine prolapse in nulliparous women is caused by poor development of the supporting tissues of the reproductive organs.

Severe nutritional deficiencies can lead to muscle atrophy, relaxation of the pelvic fascia, and loss of support for the uterus. Uterine prolapse caused by malnutrition is often accompanied by symptoms such as gastroptosis and abdominal wall relaxation.

5. Aging

Ovarian dysfunction leads to a decrease in estrogen secretion, which makes the pelvic floor support tissue weak and loose, making uterine prolapse more likely to occur or worsening the original prolapse.
