What are the symptoms of cervical prolapse?

Cervical prolapse is also a common disease, with an incidence rate of over 1%. When cervical prolapse occurs, the body will actually have obvious symptoms, such as soreness, vaginal swelling, urinary tract abnormalities, etc. For this type of abnormal symptoms, everyone must go to a regular hospital for a physical examination in time.

1. Lumbar pain

This is especially true in the sacral area, which is more obvious after labor and can be relieved by bed rest. In addition, patients feel a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, vagina, and perineum, which is aggravated by fatigue.

2. Vaginal prolapse

The patient reported that a spherical object had prolapsed from the vagina, which was more obvious when she was walking or doing physical labor, and returned on its own after she rested in bed. In severe cases of prolapse, the prolapse remains outside all day and cannot be fixed by itself. When walking, the prolapse causes friction with clothes, causing discomfort. Long-term friction may lead to ulcers, infection, increased secretions, and even bleeding. Over time, the local tissue may become thickened and keratinized.

3. Urinary tract symptoms

For most patients with uterine prolapse, when they laugh, cough violently, or exert themselves, the abdominal pressure suddenly increases, causing urinary incontinence and urine overflow. Uterine prolapse is often accompanied by varying degrees of cystocele, but whether stress urinary incontinence occurs depends on whether the anatomical relationship between the bladder and urethra is changed. A small number of patients with uterine prolapse have difficulty urinating, which leads to urinary retention. They need to push the bulging bladder forward with their fingers before they can urinate. The cause is severe cystocele, where the enlarged bladder is located below the urethra.

4. Menstrual changes and excessive vaginal discharge

Due to pelvic organ prolapse, blood circulation disorders and local congestion may occur, affecting normal menstruation and causing excessive menstruation. In addition, due to blood circulation disorders, prolapse of organs may cause ulcers and infections, resulting in increased leucorrhea and bloody secretions.
