What are the causes of cervical prolapse?

It is very common for women to have uterine prolapse, but why do women have uterine prolapse? What are the factors that cause uterine prolapse in women? These problems seriously trouble women. If female friends do not realize the seriousness of uterine prolapse in normal times, I hope that after the detailed introduction of the editor today, you can pay attention to it. Next, the editor will introduce to you the relevant content about why women have uterine prolapse?

There are many reasons for uterine prolapse, the main ones are:

1. Birth injury is the primary cause. For example, prolonged delivery or difficult labor can easily damage the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments; getting out of bed too early to do housework during the confinement period, or doing heavy lifting too early.

2. Amenorrhea is a major cause. It is reported that uterine prolapse occurs in about 2/3 of postmenopausal women. Insufficient estrogen levels after menopause cause hormone-dependent reproductive organs and tissues to begin to atrophy and degenerate, the pelvic muscles to lose elasticity, and the ligaments supporting the uterus to relax, resulting in the entire pelvic floor tissue becoming weak.

3. Long-term increased abdominal pressure is a major factor. Conditions such as chronic cough, habitual constipation, long-term heavy labor, regular and inappropriate exercise, and tumors in the abdominal cavity can all cause increased abdominal pressure and cause the uterus to move downward.

In addition, some women have congenital uterine or pelvic floor muscle hypoplasia, which can also cause premature uterine prolapse.

Uterine prolapse is often caused gradually by the combined effects of the above reasons. Some women suffer birth injuries during childbirth. Uterine prolapse is not obvious at the time, but it will worsen after menopause. If there is chronic cough or constipation, it will inevitably lead to prolapse.

Do postpartum gymnastics regularly to exercise the abdominal muscles, and perform levator ani muscle contraction exercises, that is, contract and relax the anus forcefully, just like the action at the end of a bowel movement, and do it continuously for about 10 minutes each time, several times a day.

If female friends want to prevent uterine prolapse, they must pay more attention to care in normal times and need to do some exercise regularly. The editor reminds you that if women have uterine prolapse, they need to seek timely treatment, because mild uterine prolapse only needs to be treated by taking some medicine, while severe uterine prolapse may require surgical treatment.
