Uterine Prolapse
What are the Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse?
Women with uterine prolapse may experience:
A feeling of something coming out of the vagina
Heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region
Low back pain
Tissue bulging from the vagina
Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse
Difficulty urinating or passing stools
What Is Uterine Prolapse?
The uterus is normally supported inside the pelvis by muscles, tissues, and ligaments. However, factors like pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and conditions that increase abdominal pressure can weaken these supports. When this happens, the uterus drops into the vaginal canal—a condition known as uterine prolapse.
What are the Causes of Uterine Prolapse?
Uterine prolapse may occur due to:
Pregnancy and childbirth
Weakening of pelvic muscles and tissues with age
Chronic cough, constipation, obesity, or heavy weight lifting (which increase abdominal pressure)
Pelvic surgeries that reduce structural support
How Can Uterine Prolapse Be Prevented?
Avoid heavy lifting and straining
Maintain a healthy weight
Prevent constipation with a high-fiber diet and hydration
