How to treat cervical prolapse

  Uterine prolapse refers to the lowering of the uterus from its normal position along the vagina, with the cervix reaching below the sciatic spine or even completely prolapsing out of the vaginal opening due to the weakening of the pelvic floor tissue support. Cervical prolapse is a kind of uterine prolapse, mostly seen in degree II uterine prolapse. Treatment methods are as follows: 1. Conservative treatment: pelvic floor muscle exercise and physical therapy can be tried first, the specific practice is to contract the pelvic floor muscles forcefully for more than 3 seconds and then relax, 10-15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day. You can also go to the hospital to use the instrument to assist in physical therapy. A uterine support, which is a tool to support the uterus and vaginal wall and keep it in the vagina without prolapse, can also be used. It is divided into trumpet-shaped, ring-shaped and spherical-shaped. Also pay attention to rest, reduce weight, avoid all behaviors that increase abdominal pressure, such as constipation, lifting heavy objects, etc. It can also be supplemented with Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment, such as tonic Chinese medicine and qi soup (pill).  2.Surgical treatment: If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment is needed, including: anterior and posterior vaginal wall repair, uterine ligament shortening and partial hysterectomy; total transvaginal hysterectomy and anterior and posterior vaginal wall repair; vaginal closure and pelvic floor reconstruction. The specific surgical procedure will be determined according to the patient’s condition.  In conclusion, the treatment of cervical prolapse includes pelvic floor muscle exercise, physiotherapy with uterine support, Chinese medicine and surgery.
