What are the clinical characteristics of uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse usually occurs in postpartum women. Research has found that many of these postpartum gynecological problems are caused by not paying attention during the confinement period, or having no one to take care of them. They are overworked and do not get enough rest, which leads to uterine prolapse. This disease is not easy to cure, it will recur, and it will also occur if you have bowel movements for a long time. Let’s take a look at the clinical characteristics of uterine prolapse.

Clinical symptoms of uterine prolapse

Experts say that due to the different degrees of uterine prolapse, there will be many differences in symptoms. Clinically, the clinical symptoms of uterine prolapse mainly include the following four types:

Lumbar pain

The clinical symptoms of patients with uterine prolapse are relatively simple, and the degree of prolapse is often inconsistent with the symptoms. The most common symptoms are generally pain in the lumbar and sacral area, especially in the sacral area, and a feeling of heaviness in the pelvis. The characteristics of the pain are that the symptoms are obvious after standing, walking or working for a long time, especially squatting; the pain disappears after lying in bed. Differentiation from other causes

Diagnosis: Lumbar pain has its limitations, but no fixed lesion can be found. The symptoms are not consistent with the degree of prolapse. The symptoms of patients with second-degree uterine prolapse are not obvious, while the lumbar pain is more obvious in patients with early prolapse, especially when the intestine is prolapsed.

Vaginal discharge

The patient describes a protrusion from the vagina. Because the uterus and vagina are located between the thighs, they rub against clothes when walking and cause discomfort; ulcers are likely to occur after long-term friction. The infection exudate increases, accompanied by a foul odor, causing the patient great pain.

Urinary incontinence

Patients with uterine prolapse often have urethral prolapse and bladder prolapse. Urinary incontinence may occur when the patient's abdominal pressure increases, such as when coughing suddenly, laughing, or working that increases abdominal pressure. Whether urinary incontinence occurs or not depends on the condition of the posterior horn of the urethra and vesical cavity. Under normal circumstances, this rear angle is about 100 degrees. Because the bulging of the urethra and bladder is often inconsistent, the symptoms of urinary incontinence are also different in severity: for example, if the urethra is obviously bulging but the bladder is slightly bulging, causing the posterior horn of the urethra to disappear, stress urinary incontinence may occur. However, if the bladder is severely bulging but the urethra is not bulging, not only will there be no stress urinary incontinence, but the patient will instead experience difficulty urinating. According to patients' experience, they often need to push up the prolapsed bladder with their fingers before they can urinate. Frequent urine retention may lead to urinary tract infection; sometimes symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency may occur.

Difficulty in defecation is caused by severe rectal prolapse, which forms a bag-like protrusion into or out of the vagina, making defecation difficult. Patients often need to use their fingers to push the bulging rectum backwards before they can defecate. The symptoms of mild rectal prolapse are usually not obvious.

Prolapse of pelvic organs causes blood circulation disorders, resulting in pelvic congestion, affecting menstruation, and often becoming the cause of menstrual difficulties and irregular uterine bleeding. Vaginal wall ulcers caused by friction between clothes and pants, followed by secondary infection, can result in increased leucorrhea and foul-smelling secretions.
