What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse?

The uterus is a relatively important reproductive organ in the female body, but diseases will seriously affect women's normal life and physical health. Sometimes, many women are particularly prone to uterine prolapse during the delivery process. If it can be treated in time in the early stage of the disease, that is, when the uterus prolapses to the first degree, it can get a good cure. However, many women do not know much about its symptoms. Sometimes they cannot discover it in time in the early stage of the disease, so they miss the best treatment period. Let's take a look at the symptoms of first-degree uterine prolapse.

What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse?

Symptoms of early uterine prolapse include a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen, vagina, and perineum, a feeling of a mass falling out of the vagina, and soreness in the waist and back, which is worse after labor. If the vaginal mucosa prolapses beyond the vaginal opening, urinary tract symptoms may also occur due to frequent friction, ulceration, increased secretions and bleeding, tissue keratinization, and concurrent cystocele. People whose uterine hypertrophy is caused by blood stasis may also experience excessive menstruation.

The cause of uterine prolapse is that childbirth causes serious damage and relaxation of the cervix, the main cervical ligament and the uterosacral ligament, and the supporting tissue of the uterus fails to return to normal after childbirth; it can also be caused by abnormal development of the supporting tissue of the reproductive organs, coupled with increased abdominal pressure.

To prevent uterine prolapse, the main thing is to implement planned childbirth, have fewer and better births, develop new methods of delivery, and ensure postpartum health care. Pay attention to rest within 3 months after delivery to prevent constipation. Avoid squatting on the ground for a long time to wash clothes or do heavy physical labor after giving birth.

Treatment should adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, nutrition, rest, tools and surgery and other comprehensive treatment measures. The use of pessaries, oral Chinese medicine, acupuncture, fumigation, etc. are all ineffective. Patients with third-degree uterine prolapse should undergo surgical treatment, which can generally achieve satisfactory results.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of first-degree uterine prolapse. After understanding it, we know that women with uterine prolapse generally have a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen, irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Generally, most women will also have abnormal leucorrhea. Therefore, women should pay more attention to observing their physical condition. Once abnormalities are found, they should go to the hospital for examination in time, so that the disease can be discovered in time and actively treated.
