What are the classifications of uterine prolapse?

Because the pace of society is getting faster and faster, many women have to return to busy work before they have fully recovered from childbirth. This can easily induce uterine prolapse, and postpartum women often do squatting or heavy labor activities. But many people don’t know much about this disease. In the following article we will talk about the classification of uterine prolapse.

Uterine prolapse degree classification

Grade I: The uterine body is descended, and the cervical opening is located between the ischial spines and the vaginal opening. During vaginal examination, the cervical opening is within 4 cm of the vaginal opening.

Grade II: The cervix has protruded out of the vaginal opening, but the uterine body or part of the uterine body 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.

Mild grade II: The cervix and part of the anterior vaginal wall are turned out of the vaginal opening.

In severe grade II, the cervix, part of the uterine body, and most or all of the anterior vaginal wall are protruded out of the vaginal opening.

Grade III: This degree means that the entire uterine body, cervix, all anterior vaginal wall, and part of the posterior vaginal wall will be turned out of the vaginal opening. This degree is relatively serious. When this degree occurs, timely treatment must be carried out. In order to avoid more serious consequences.

Due to the prolapse of pelvic organs, blood circulation disorders may occur, local congestion may occur, normal menstruation may be affected, and excessive menstrual bleeding may occur. Some patients may also experience increased vaginal discharge accompanied by bloody secretions.

Symptoms of uterine prolapse

2. Difficulty urinating

5. Feeling of heaviness, fullness, and/or pain in the bladder or vagina, or a feeling of heaviness.

The above discusses the symptoms of uterine prolapse. When women experience these symptoms, they should pay attention and then understand the degree of their condition based on their symptoms. If the situation is serious, then treatment should be sought as soon as possible. Postpartum women should pay attention to maintenance and avoid labor and exercise too early.
