What is uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a urinary system disease that occurs exclusively in women. The so-called prolapse refers to a significant change in the position of a woman's uterus, which gradually moves down along the vagina from its original position. At this time, the patient's cervix will exceed the level of the sciatic spine, and sometimes the uterus will even completely leave the vulva. It is usually accompanied by complications such as protrusion of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina.

Causes of uterine prolapse

1. Pregnant women giving birth

Childbirth will cause very serious wear and tear on women's bodies, and will cause varying degrees of damage to the cervix, myometrium, and uterosacral tendons. In addition, if the supporting tissues after childbirth are not fully restored, uterine prolapse may occur.

2. Confinement period

Many pregnant women like to choose a supine posture during confinement, which can easily lead to chronic urinary retention. The uterus after delivery is prone to posterior position. When the abdominal pressure increases, the uterus will slowly slide down along the vagina, resulting in prolapse.

3. Workers who have just given birth

If women do not take good care of themselves after giving birth, but often do housework and wash diapers, it will increase abdominal pressure, thereby increasing the risk of uterine prolapse.

4. Male reproductive organ dysplasia

Women who have not experienced childbirth may also experience symptoms of uterine prolapse, which is mainly due to the incomplete development of the supporting tissues of their genitals.
