What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse after normal delivery?

The sagging of the uterus after a normal childbirth is a terrible threat to women. Uterine prolapse is caused by the relaxation or degeneration of the pelvic ligaments and muscles, which are unable to support the uterus and cause it to protrude into the vagina. To treat uterine prolapse, you should strengthen your physical fitness, improve your nutrition, pay attention to proper rest, keep your bowels open, avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure and heavy physical labor, and use a pessary in combination with general supportive therapy. If the effect is not good, surgical treatment can also be chosen.

So what are the symptoms of uterine prolapse?

The common symptoms of uterine prolapse include at least a feeling of falling, which can cause back pain, bladder and rectum discomfort, and frequent urination, incomplete urination, or constipation. In severe cases, the uterus may protrude from the vagina and even frequently rub against underwear, which not only makes the patient endure unspeakable embarrassment and discomfort, but may also increase the chance of uterine infection. Therefore, uterine prolapse is also a very dangerous condition.

However, there are also treatment methods: Uterine prolapse is the downward displacement of the uterus along the vagina. According to the degree of prolapse, it can be divided into 3 degrees:

1. Ⅰ degree

It means that the level of the external cervical os is lower than the level of the ischial spine, but the cervix and uterine body are still located in the vagina. This degree of uterine prolapse does not require treatment and can be recovered by resting.

2. II degree

It means that the cervix has protruded out of the vaginal opening, but the uterus or part of the uterus 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: ① Grade II mild type: the cervix and part of the anterior vaginal wall prolapse out of the vaginal opening. ② Grade II severe cervix, part of the uterine body, and most or all of the anterior vaginal wall protrude from the vaginal opening.

3. Grade III

It means that the entire uterine body, cervix, the entire anterior vaginal wall and part of the posterior vaginal wall are protruding out of the vaginal opening.

The above tells you what the symptoms of uterine prolapse after normal delivery are. I hope everyone can be vigilant. But as long as you take preventive measures, you should protect your body throughout the entire process before giving birth. Strengthen nutrition, get adequate rest, avoid abdominal exercises, pay attention to adjusting lying posture and height, etc., and uterine prolapse after normal delivery can naturally be avoided.
