Methods of preventing and treating uterine prolapse

In daily life, many sports involve certain risks, especially for many women. Friends who have been engaged in the sports industry for a long time often have a problem, which is uterine prolapse. Sometimes it has a great impact on people. Generally speaking, it is easy to cause the feeling that the belly is obviously falling. So the following article will introduce how to prevent and treat uterine prolapse?

When women do excessive exercise, especially weightlifting and other training, abdominal pressure will increase, causing the uterus to temporarily drop, but uterine prolapse will not occur. If you over-exercise for a long time, uterine prolapse will occur. Some experiments have shown that when women with normal uterine position carry a weight of 20 kg, there is no obvious change in the position of the cervix; when they carry a weight of 40 kg, the cervix shifts significantly downward.

Generally speaking, the normal position of the uterus of an adult woman is halfway in the center of the pelvis when standing, above the level of the ischial spine, adjacent to the bladder in front and the rectum behind, with the uterus tilted forward. The cervix forms an angle of 120-150° with the uterine body and is in an anteriorly bent and anteflexed position. However, the uterus may be displaced due to reasons such as relaxation of a group of ligaments that maintain the normal position of the uterus, long-term bed rest after delivery (especially supine position), pelvic inflammation, uterine body tumors, congenital maldevelopment, etc. The most common of these is retroverted uterus. Depending on the degree of retroversion of the uterus, the retroverted uterus is divided into grades I, II, and III.

Mild retroverted uterus (grades I-II) generally does not cause symptoms and does not require treatment. Severe retroverted uterus often causes symptoms, mainly lower back pain. In mild cases, there is only soreness and discomfort in the lower back. In severe cases, the entire waist, sacrum and coccyx, and iliac regions on both sides feel sore and uncomfortable. In some patients, the soreness and swelling extend to the lower back and groin on both sides. Lower abdominal soreness and anal distension often coexist, and symptoms are often aggravated by fatigue and menstruation. If not corrected in time, it may also lead to dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, increased leucorrhea, sexual discomfort, miscarriage, infertility, etc. For patients with retroverted uterus, if the retroverted uterus has not corrected itself three months after conception, the displacement of the bladder neck and urethra and the upturned cervix may compress the posterior urethra and cause acute urinary retention.

Most cases of retroverted uterus are preventable. The key is to allow the mother to get enough rest after delivery so that the pelvic tissue can recover in time. Pay special attention to your lying posture during rest and avoid lying on your back for long periods of time. Side-lying, supine and prone positions should be rotated alternately. Starting from the third day after delivery, you can do some health exercises for the abdomen, limbs and pelvic floor muscles in bed, which will help postpartum recovery. After miscarriage or due to other reasons, pelvic infection and adhesion formation will promote the formation of retroverted uterus, so it should be treated actively as soon as possible. Strictly implement postpartum examinations and promptly correct any poor recovery of the uterus after delivery.

Since many women often experience uterine prolapse during pregnancy, it is generally recommended to use a restraint belt properly after giving birth. If you experience uterine prolapse in this case, you must actively prevent it.
