What is acute uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a common disease among women. It is very harmful to women and seriously threatens women's physical health. It not only brings physical harm but also psychological harm. Many women suffer from acute uterine prolapse. Faced with this situation, many women are helpless. What exactly is acute uterine prolapse?

During delivery, the soft birth canal and the surrounding pelvic floor tissues expand extremely, the muscle fibers stretch or tear, and the urogenital hiatus is damaged, relaxed, and enlarged. In particular, the damage caused by assisted delivery leads to damage to the deep and superficial pelvic fascia and the levator ani muscles that maintain the normal position of the uterus. If this injury is not sutured or sutured poorly, or if the mother participates in physical labor too early after delivery, especially heavy physical labor, it will affect the recovery of the tension of the pelvic floor tissues, weaken the support of the uterus, and cause the large uterus that has not yet recovered to move downward to varying degrees.

1. After menopause, estrogen levels decrease, the pelvic floor tissue atrophies and becomes weak, and elderly women are more likely to have uterine prolapse

2. Malnutrition causes weakness in the tissue supporting the uterus, which can lead to uterine prolapse. Some patients may not only have uterine prolapse, but also prolapse of other organs.

3. Uterine prolapse may occasionally occur in women with congenital dysplasia of the pelvic floor and those without a history of childbirth.

4. Multiple deliveries by multiparous women also affect the recovery of supporting tissues, making the pelvic supporting tissues weak.

The increased intra-abdominal pressure acts on the uterus, causing it to move downward. Especially within 2 months after delivery, any factors that increase abdominal pressure, such as heavy labor, can easily lead to uterine prolapse.

Uterine prolapse is very harmful to women and may cause harm to their entire lives. Therefore, women must receive timely treatment. First of all, they must understand what acute uterine prolapse is so that they can prevent and treat it. They must maintain good living habits in normal times and actively seek treatment if they are sick!
