What are the methods for treating uterine prolapse in the elderly?

Not only is uterine prolapse a gynecological disease suffered by many young and middle-aged women, but there are also more and more cases of this gynecological disease among the elderly. The cause of the disease may be due to ovarian dysfunction caused by menopause or long-term heavy physical labor that increases intra-abdominal pressure. Especially the elderly should pay special attention to their illness and seek timely treatment. Now follow me to see what are the methods for treating uterine prolapse in the elderly.

[Pessary treatment] A pessary can play a supporting role, which the patient can control by herself and can treat every type of uterine prolapse. Wash your hands before use and learn how to place it. Generally, the pessary is placed in the morning and removed at night. It should not be used during menstruation.

[Life Guidance] You need to raise your feet a little higher when you sleep and rest. This can prevent the uterus from prolapse during sleep. Do not get out of bed to work too early after giving birth, keep your bowels and bladder open, reduce abdominal pressure, and do not squat for a long time, otherwise it will increase the chance of uterine prolapse.

1. Exercise the levator ani muscles to perform anal contraction activities, that is, the anus contracts after defecation, 3 times a day, 20 times each time. The purpose is to exercise the levator ani muscles, making them strong and developed, so as to strengthen the pelvic floor support and move the prolapsed uterus upward.

2. Buzhong Yiqi Decoction. Take 10 ml twice a day for 1 month.

3. Pessary. When the above method is ineffective, it can effectively lift the uterus and prevent it from sagging.

4. Estrogen replacement therapy. Seek treatment from an experienced gynecologist.

The above are the methods shared with you for treating uterine prolapse in the elderly. Since the physical constitution of the elderly is not as good as that of middle-aged and young women, they are not suitable for surgery. But in daily life, doing some levator ani muscle exercises and eating some important nutritional supplements are good methods. I believe that after a period of time, the condition of uterine prolapse in the elderly will gradually improve.
