What happens if uterine prolapse is not treated?

Uterine prolapse actually has a great impact on the patient's life. Some patients think that it will be fine if they do not receive treatment, but this is not the case. First of all, uterine prolapse will affect conception. Long-term uterine prolapse will also cause deformation of the uterus and easily damage the uterine mucosa, resulting in more serious inflammation.

1. Can you get pregnant if you have uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse has a certain impact on women's pregnancy. Uterine prolapse is divided into three degrees. Generally, patients with degree I or II uterine prolapse still have the possibility of pregnancy. If handled properly, it is still possible to become pregnant after treatment. However, it still has a certain impact on childbirth after pregnancy.

Patients with severe uterine prolapse often suffer from infertility. This is because semen is not easy to accumulate in the posterior fornix of the vagina, and patients with uterine prolapse often have complications such as cervical hypertrophy and chronic cervicitis.

2. Uterine prolapse can lead to excessive menstruation

The posterior tilt of the uterus can often cause the ovaries and fallopian tubes to sag backward and downward. Variations in the position of the ovaries and fallopian tubes can cause twisting of the pelvic veins, poor blood flow, and pelvic venous congestion, leading to menorrhagia, abdominal distension, back pain, and some women may also experience symptoms such as pain during sexual intercourse.

3. Uterine prolapse can cause dysmenorrhea

The shape of the retroverted uterus is like a teapot, the cervical canal is like the spout of the teapot, and the uterine body is like the body of the teapot. The cervix, which serves as the spout of the teapot, is located higher than the uterine cavity, which serves as the body of the teapot. The menstrual blood in the uterine cavity is difficult to be discharged from the "bottom of the teapot" through the cervical canal. In order to expel the menstrual blood in the "pot", the only way to force the menstrual blood out is to strengthen the contraction of the uterus and compress the volume of the uterine cavity as much as possible. Therefore, women with a retroverted uterus often experience dysmenorrhea due to spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles.
