Symptoms and treatments of uterine prolapse in women

Everyone hopes to have a healthy body, especially many women, due to the complex body structure, always lead to some diseases in the body, among which uterine prolapse is a relatively common disease.

Symptoms and treatments of uterine prolapse in women

The patient feels that his abdomen is falling, and the pain is more obvious when he walks and squats. In severe cases, the dislocated mass cannot be put back, affecting his movement. Due to long-term exposure to the outside, the cervix may develop thickening and keratinization of the mucosal surface or erosion and ulceration. Patients experience increased leucorrhea, which is sometimes pus-like or bloody. Some also experience menstrual disorders and excessive menstrual bleeding.

Uterine prolapse is the downward displacement of the uterus along the vagina. It can be divided into 3 degrees according to the degree of prolapse:

1. Ⅰ degree

It means that the level of the external cervical os is lower than the level of the ischial spine, but the cervix and uterine body are still located in the vagina. This degree of uterine prolapse does not require treatment and can be recovered by resting.

2. II degree

It means that the cervix has protruded out of the vaginal opening, but the uterus or part of the uterus is still in the vagina. However, because the range involved is too large, in mild cases only the cervix may protrude from the vaginal opening, while in severe cases the cervix may be elongated, causing the entire elongated cervix and vaginal wall to protrude from the vaginal opening.

Grade II uterine prolapse is divided into mild and severe types: ① Grade II mild type: the cervix and part of the anterior vaginal wall prolapse out of the vaginal opening. ② Severe Grade II: The cervix, part of the uterine body, and most or all of the anterior vaginal wall protrude from the vaginal opening.

3. Grade III

It means that the entire uterine body, cervix, the entire anterior vaginal wall and part of the posterior vaginal wall are protruding out of the vaginal opening.
