What to do if your cervix droops after giving birth

For most mothers, their cervix sags after giving birth. Indeed, this is a problem for many women who have just given birth. On the one hand, they worry about the further progression and deterioration of the disease. If it is not treated, it becomes more and more difficult to treat, and even gets worse. On the other hand, they worry that the disease will affect their normal work and life in the future, and even whether it will affect their future family happiness and marital relationship. For various reasons, mothers have always been very concerned about this issue. Let’s take a look at what to do if your cervix prolapses after giving birth.

Uterine prolapse refers to the uterus descending along the vagina from its normal position, with the external cervical opening reaching below the level of the ischial spine, or even the entire uterus protruding out of the vaginal opening, often accompanied by bulging of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina. Patients with cervical prolapse need to respond actively and go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. The doctor will give appropriate treatment methods based on the patient's condition, such as doing rehabilitation gymnastics, using biofeedback equipment, using estrogen, etc.

It is normal for the cervix to sag after giving birth, because during the delivery process, the larger the fetus or the malposition of the fetus, the more difficult the delivery will be, which will increase the chance of cervical sag. These patients will feel like something is about to fall out of their lower abdomen because the cervix has fallen into the vagina.

Postpartum rehabilitation training is becoming more and more common now, which includes cervical rehabilitation training. Here I will tell you a little method, which is anal levator exercise. The method is to perform anal contraction exercises every day for ten minutes at a time, several times a day, and the first time of the day should be before getting up. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, patients suffering from cervical prolapse all suffer from insufficient vital energy. Patients who want to treat their condition with Chinese medicine can ask local Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe some Chinese medicine to replenish vital energy according to their own conditions. A pessary is recommended for uterine prolapse. At the same time, physical therapy can also treat mild uterine prolapse. For example, for levator ani muscle exercises, forcefully contract the anus for about 10 minutes each time, several times a day. The first exercise should be done before getting up. In cases of severe prolapse, early surgical treatment is recommended.

The best treatment for uterine prolapse is surgery. After vaginal hysterectomy, the basic ligament and other supporting tissues are fixed, and the pelvic floor muscles and vaginal wall are repaired at the same time, including suturing the anterior vaginal wall mucosa to prevent bladder prolapse, and suturing the posterior vaginal wall mucosa to prevent rectal prolapse. If the cervix is ​​severely prolapsed, for example, it has prolapsed out of the vagina, then hospitalization is necessary for treatment. In this case, no matter how many medicines you take at home, it will not work. You need to go to the hospital for surgery. If it is mild cervical prolapse after childbirth, it does not need treatment. Just go to the hospital for regular check-ups. If you feel that the feeling of cervical prolapse is really unbearable, you can go to the hospital to place a pessary, which can also help the recovery of the cervix.

The above is a brief introduction to cervical prolapse after giving birth. For mothers who have just given birth, postpartum rehabilitation training is very necessary. Even if you cannot go to a training institution for training, you should learn some knowledge about postpartum recovery from the Internet or books, so as to achieve correct and scientific postpartum recovery, prevent various postpartum diseases, and lay a good foundation for a healthy body in the future.
