Symptoms of uterine prolapse after vaginal delivery

Uterine prolapse is a common gynecological disease, which mostly occurs after childbirth. It refers to the uterus descending from its normal position along the vagina, and even falling out of the vulva. This is because women who choose natural childbirth need to exert a lot of force, which causes vaginal tearing and vaginal relaxation, thus causing uterine prolapse. So, what are the symptoms of uterine prolapse when choosing natural childbirth?

1. Urine leaks out. For most patients with uterine prolapse, when they laugh, cough, or exert force, the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, causing urinary incontinence and urine outflow.

2. Changes in menstrual periods and increased leucorrhea. Because the pelvic organs prolapse, blood circulation is obstructed and blood accumulates partially, affecting normal menstruation and causing excessive menstruation. In addition, because of the obstruction of blood circulation, the internal organs are prone to ulcers and infections, resulting in excessive vaginal discharge accompanied by pink secretions.

3. Vaginal prolapse and swelling. A spherical object slips out of the female vagina, which is more obvious when walking or doing physical activities, and returns to the vagina on its own after bed rest. The prolapse is serious, hanging outside all day long and cannot be put back on its own. When walking, it causes friction with clothes and feels uncomfortable. The friction causes ulcers, infection, excessive secretions, and even bleeding. Over time, the local tissue becomes thickened and keratinized.

4. Pain in the lumbar and sacral area. Especially in the sacrum, it is more obvious after labor and can be relieved after bed rest. In addition, patients may feel a downward movement in the lower abdomen, vagina, and vulva, which is aggravated by fatigue.

5. Protruding urethral opening. Because the damage of childbirth in pregnant women can weaken and relax the vaginal wall, the muscle fascia inside the vagina under the urethral opening can bulge out toward the female vagina, and protrude toward the vulva at the urethral opening. This is called urethral protrusion. Some patients do not feel anything abnormal, while others feel that something is coming out of their vagina. Some patients with more serious symptoms may feel vaginal pain and even have difficulty having sex.

The above are the symptoms of uterine prolapse when choosing natural delivery. Female friends should pay more attention, especially women who have just given birth. If this symptom occurs, it is likely to be uterine prolapse. It can be discovered as soon as possible and treated in time. Pay attention to prevention in daily life, take good care of yourself when working, avoid standing for too long or overwork, and take good care of yourself during the confinement period and breastfeeding period after giving birth.
