Common causes of uterine prolapse

Many women think that gynecological diseases such as uterine prolapse are only suffered by the elderly. This is not the case. Young women can also suffer from uterine prolapse. So what are the causes of uterine prolapse? We have also consulted experts in uterine diseases to hear what they say! I hope that through this article, everyone can gain some understanding.

The most fundamental reason for uterine prolapse is the relaxation of pelvic floor tissue, which causes the uterine ligaments to lose elasticity. The direct causes are as follows:

1. Pregnancy and childbirth.

This is the main cause of uterine prolapse. Generally speaking, women who have given birth multiple times are more likely to experience uterine prolapse. However, uterine prolapse can occur even during first pregnancy and delivery. Because the ligaments of the uterus may be damaged in the late stages of pregnancy, as well as birth injuries such as giant babies and difficult labor.

2. Menopause.

Experts say that for women before and after menopause, due to a significant drop in hormone levels, the elasticity of their organs begins to decline, the pelvic floor muscles relax, and the tension of the uterine ligaments is greatly reduced, which can lead to uterine prolapse. This is also an important reason why uterine prolapse is more common in elderly women.

3. Long-term weight-bearing activities.

Women who frequently do physical work or engage in long-term excessive exercise, especially weightlifting training and weight-bearing activities, will experience increased abdominal pressure and a greatly increased likelihood of developing uterine prolapse or visceral prolapse.

4. Congenital weakness and relaxation of the pelvic muscles can also cause uterine prolapse. In addition, uterine prolapse may also occur after various pelvic surgeries.

Experts warn that although uterine prolapse is not life-threatening, it may cause urination and defecation disorders, sexual problems, and in severe cases, difficulty walking. Therefore, once you find symptoms of uterine prolapse, you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid causing great harm to your health.

The main causes of uterine prolapse are the four mentioned in the above article. I wonder if women with uterine prolapse have found their causes and then received targeted treatment. The ultimate goal is to cure the disease. In addition, patients are advised not to have too much mental burden, as this disease will not pose much threat to life in the early stages.
