What are the grades of uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse can be divided into several stages. First-degree uterine prolapse is in the early stage, but the symptoms are also quite obvious. The cervical opening is about 4 cm away from the vaginal opening. When it reaches the second degree, the cervix will protrude out of the vaginal opening. When it reaches the third degree, the most serious degree, most of the cervix will protrude out of the vaginal opening.

Uterine prolapse is the downward displacement of the uterus along the vagina. It can be divided into 3 degrees according to the degree of prolapse:

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: The entire uterine body, cervix, the entire anterior vaginal wall, and part of the posterior vaginal wall are turned out of the vaginal opening.
