How to treat prolapsed uterus

  When the uterus descends from its normal position along the vagina and the external cervical opening reaches below the level of the sciatic spine, or even when the uterus is completely prolapsed outside the vaginal opening, it is called uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse is often accompanied by prolapse of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls.  The treatment of uterine prolapse should vary from person to person. Treatment should be safe, simple and effective. First of all, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid heavy physical labor, keep the bowels open, actively treat chronic cough, and exercise the pelvic floor muscles with regular Kegel exercises. Among the non-surgical treatments, rehabilitation training of pelvic floor muscles has been advocated in recent years. This treatment is safe and effective, and has a significant improvement effect on mild to moderate uterine prolapse. A uterine support is a tool to support the uterus and vaginal wall and keep them in the vagina without prolapse, but it should not be used in severe uterine prolapse with significant atrophy of the pelvic floor muscles and in cases of inflammation and ulceration of the cervix or vaginal wall, and should not be used during menstruation and pregnancy. For patients with severe uterine prolapse, surgical treatment is used, and different surgical procedures are selected according to the patient’s age, fertility requirements and general health.  Preventing too much and too close childbirth, controlling weight during pregnancy, not participating in heavy physical activities after delivery, and regular and effective exercise of pelvic floor muscles are effective methods to prevent uterine prolapse.
