What are the symptoms of a prolapsed uterus?

  The specific symptoms may vary depending on the degree of uterine prolapse.  Mild cases of uterine prolapse may have no conscious symptoms and are only detected when a gynecological examination is performed. In severe prolapsed uterus, there may be varying degrees of lumbosacral pain or a feeling of falling in the small abdomen, which is mainly related to the uterus pulling on the uterine ligaments in severe prolapsed uterus and may lead to pelvic congestion, resulting in pain and a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen, which may be aggravated after prolonged standing or exertion and alleviated after bed rest. In severe cases of uterine prolapse, patients may also experience difficulty in urination, defecation, constipation, increased residual urine volume, and some patients may also experience stress urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections, which are mainly related to the pressure of the prolapsed uterus on the bladder and rectum. In severe cases of uterine prolapse, the vagina, cervix and even the uterus may prolapse from the vagina. Some of them can be returned on their own after rest, while others need to be held back by hand. The exposed vagina and cervix may develop ulcers from prolonged friction, which may lead to secondary infection.  Women who often have a feeling of falling in the abdomen or soreness in the lower back and abdomen are advised to have an early gynecological examination to avoid the occurrence of uterine prolapse that cannot be detected in time and makes the symptoms seriously affect their lives.
