What to do if a 70 year old has a prolapsed uterus

When a 70 year old presents with uterine prolapse, the clinical management is based on the clinical symptoms, such as the possibility of a vaginal uterine support or repair surgery. If there is a combination of uterine pathology, a hysterectomy with closure of the vaginal wall can be performed to treat uterine ptosis. 70 year olds with uterine ptosis may have a combination of dyspareunia, obstruction of bowel movement, and obstruction of movement caused by uterine prolapse after activity. The treatment plan is decided based on the symptoms and clinical presentation, as well as the elderly person’s general status. If the uterine prolapse affects the quality of life, and the patient’s physical condition permits, then surgical treatment can be performed. Surgery can include hysterectomy with sutures on the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina, as well as repair of the anterior and posterior walls of the vagina and ligament laxity surgery to alleviate the symptoms.
