Uterine prolapse is a very common type of gynecological inflammation, which can pose a great threat to the physical and mental health of female patients. Some women do not even know they have uterine prolapse. This is because they do not understand the symptoms of uterine prolapse enough. Let's take a look at some of the symptoms of uterine prolapse.

Symptoms of uterine prolapse

1. There is a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen or back pain. Secondly, there will be a feeling of heaviness and distension in the lower abdomen, vagina, and vulva. The symptoms worsen when standing for a long time, walking or working, but they will be alleviated or even disappear after lying down.

2. Lumps come out of the vagina. In patients with grade II and III uterine prolapse, the cervix and uterine body protrude outside the vaginal opening and can be retracted when lying flat.

3. Increased leucorrhea, sometimes presenting as yellow pus or blood.

4. Frequent urination, urgency and pain during urination. Urine may involuntarily leak out of the urethra when you cough, sneeze, laugh or walk. Due to frequent stimulation from urine, the vulva will become inflamed and become red, swollen, painful and itchy. Due to difficulty in urination, some patients have to lift up their buttocks and squeeze hard to urinate.

5. Constipation, abdominal distension, and difficulty in defecation. When the uterus prolapses to the second or third degree, the posterior wall of the vagina may also bulge, and the rectum will bulge as well, becoming S-shaped. Stool cannot pass smoothly, causing constipation and difficulty in defecation. Sometimes, if the abdomen is bent too much, it is difficult for air to pass through and farts cannot be released, which causes abdominal bloating.

Causes of uterine prolapse

The main reasons are damage to the cervix, cardinal cervical ligament and uterosacral ligament caused by delivery and failure of supporting tissues to return to normal after delivery. Among 2,504 patients with uterine prolapse in Jinan City, 58% occurred during the 1st to 3rd parity.

In addition, most women in the postpartum period like to lie on their backs and are prone to chronic urinary retention. The uterus is prone to become posterior, with the axis of the uterus in the same direction as the axis of the vagina. When the abdominal pressure increases, the uterus will descend along the direction of the vagina and prolapse will occur.
