What are the methods of acupuncture for treating uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a gynecological disease in women. Because the inner wall of the uterus cannot contract well, it will sag into the vagina, and in severe cases, it will even sag outside the body. If not treated promptly, symptoms such as constipation and vaginal pain may occur. Uterine prolapse can be treated not only through surgery and medication, but also with acupuncture. Now I will tell you how to use acupuncture to treat uterine prolapse.

Causes of uterine prolapse

The uterine ligaments are damaged due to various reasons such as qi deficiency and failure to recover qi and blood after childbirth, premature labor, constipation, chronic cough, prolonged squatting, and long labor.
