Can uterine prolapse recover?

Women will encounter various unexpected problems after giving birth, and uterine problems are the most important problem, such as uterine prolapse. Many women are very sensitive to this problem. Will this situation affect the birth of the second child? Is uterine prolapse serious? Can uterine prolapse be restored after giving birth? Many women have such concerns, so the editor will give you a brief introduction to the causes and treatments of postpartum uterine prolapse.

Causes of postpartum uterine prolapse

1. Squatting for a long time after childbirth can easily lead to uterine prolapse

Avoid squatting for long periods of time. After giving birth, it takes about three months for the mother's pelvic floor muscles to recover. Therefore, during these three months, it is best for the mother to choose to sit or stand when doing things. Try to avoid squatting for long periods of time to prevent uterine prolapse.

Postpartum sexual life: Sexual life should be strictly prohibited within 42 days after delivery, and it is best to have it 2 months after delivery. Even two months after giving birth, the vagina is still very fragile, so be gentle or use some lubricant to prevent injury.

2. Rapid labor and delayed labor can easily lead to uterine prolapse

Anterior uterine prolapse is rarely found, but prevention should still be strengthened to further reduce the occurrence of this disease. The causes of postpartum uterine prolapse include premature delivery, that is, less than 3 hours from regular uterine contractions to fetal delivery.

Because the pelvic floor tissue and vaginal muscles have not had time to undergo gradual expansion, they are compressed and torn by the sudden and powerful fetal head, and are not repaired in time, the pelvic floor support tissue fails to return to normal after delivery.

In addition, the causes of postpartum uterine prolapse include postpartum constipation, postpartum coughing, continuous squatting movements, getting out of bed to work too early and too heavily after delivery, which increase abdominal pressure and cause uterine prolapse.

Treatments for uterine prolapse

1. Conservative treatment.

Uterine treatment is to use the pubococcygeus muscle bundle of the levator ani muscle to support the uterine tray in the vaginal vault, prevent the cervix from descending, maintain the cervix at the level of the sciatic muscles, and keep the handle level with the vaginal opening.

For mild cases, no additional support is needed. If the vagina is too loose, a menstrual belt must be used to support the handle, or a belt or plastic rope must be passed through the upper end of the handle and fixed to the belt front and back to prevent it from falling out.

There are many treatment methods in daily life, such as:

1. Patients should pay attention to rest and avoid overwork. Patients should pay attention to improving nutrition, increasing exercise and improving physical fitness. The supporting function of the pessary is used to raise the prolapsed uterus, thereby improving blood circulation in the affected area and facilitating recovery.

2. Partial cervical resection. This method is suitable for young women who want to retain their reproductive function. Vaginal hysterectomy is suitable for older women with more serious conditions. Vaginal closure is suitable for the elderly, frail and sexually inactive people.

The editor reminds everyone that uterine prolapse has a great impact on women's reproductive health. Uterine prolapse will seriously affect women's fertility. Female friends must pay more attention to it. If you are a patient with uterine prolapse, once you find that you have uterine prolapse, you must go to a regular professional hospital for treatment in time.
