How to detect uterine prolapse

It is not clear how much people know about uterine prolapse, and no one knows what causes it. The damage caused by uterine prolapse is also very great, especially affecting women's daily life. Therefore, if you find symptoms of uterine prolapse, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination and receive treatment immediately. So what examinations should be done for uterine prolapse? I think everyone is not very clear, so let me give you a detailed introduction.

Check 1: Check if there is a sense of heaviness in the lower body, or a sense of weakness in the pelvis. More serious patients will feel something protruding from their lower body, similar to the feeling during menstruation. At this time, patients with uterine prolapse outside the body should pay attention and be sure to keep their private parts clean, which can reduce the chance of viral and bacterial infection.

Check 2: Pain. Check if there is any pain in the lower abdomen, such as pain during intercourse, pain in the lower back, etc. Due to the decrease in the tightness of the uterine prolapse tendon, the uterus falls out, and the subsequent friction causes pain in the woman's lower abdomen. In serious cases, the patient may continue to experience anxiety, difficulty in movement, etc. When the pain worsens, you must go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately and do not take painkillers on your own.

Examination three: difficulty urinating. Due to the anatomical structure of the uterus, it relies on the bladder in front and the duodenum in the back, so uterine prolapse may cause symptoms of difficulty in defecation or urination. For example, urinary incontinence and urinary retention. Therefore, patients with difficulty urinating need to change their underwear every day, clean and disinfect it every day, etc. In severe cases, sanitary napkins can be used.

Inspection 4: Transportation is inconvenient. Patients with severe uterine prolapse find it difficult to walk. And the uterus falling outside will cause women to feel insecure. Therefore, patients with uterine prolapse are not recommended to go out and should rest in bed as much as possible.

Examination 5: Urethral opening examination. The patient is placed in the bladder nephroscopic position and asked to cough to see if urine overflows. If urine overflows, place the middle and ring fingers on both sides of the urethral opening, then press forward and ask the patient to cough again. If the urine can be controlled from flowing out, it indicates supportive urinary incontinence.

Examination six: intravaginal and anal digital examination. If the cervix is ​​not exposed outside, an intravaginal and anal digital examination can be performed to accurately measure the distance from the cervical opening to the vulva. You also need to have a rough idea of ​​how wide the distance between the anal constrictor muscles is. Rectal examination can be performed to see the level of duodenum protrusion and the tension of the external anal sphincter. You can also use a vaginal speculum to check whether the cervix and vaginal wall are ulcerated, whether there is uterine and duodenal hernia, etc.

The above are some examinations that should be done for uterine prolapse. Through the above, we can understand how much harm uterine prolapse has caused to female friends, and even affect their daily life, and also cause patients to have an insecure mentality. Therefore, when you find that you have a discomfort in your uterus, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination immediately to see if you have uterine prolapse. If so, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. I hope patients with uterine prolapse can take care of their health.
