What should I do if I have mild uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a disease that seriously threatens the physical and mental health of menopausal women. Surgery is an effective method for treating moderate to severe uterine prolapse. What are the main causes and treatments of this disease? Below, the editor will talk about the treatment and daily preventive care for patients with mild uterine prolapse.

Uterine prolapse refers to the uterus descending along the vagina from its normal position, with the cervix descending below the level of the ischial spines, and even protruding out of the external opening of the vagina. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is called "yin prolapse" or "yin displacement", and is commonly known as "hanging eggplant".

The main cause of this disease is that women are usually weak and have weak pelvic floor muscles. Under certain inducements, the position of the uterus can be lowered.

How to treat uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is still a common disease in rural areas, causing a lot of pain to patients and should be treated actively.

For the treatment of uterine prolapse, or when drug treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment should be performed. Surgical treatment is divided into three categories: for young people who want to have children, surgery to preserve the uterus can be chosen; for older women who do not need to have children, hysterectomy can be chosen; for the elderly and frail, vaginal septum formation can be used.

How to prevent uterine prolapse

Although it is important to treat uterine prolapse, it is more important to take measures to prevent the occurrence of this disease. The main measures are as follows:

1. Vigorously publicize family planning, advocate late marriage and late childbearing, and prevent excessive and crowded births.

2. Take good care of health during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum and lactation. It is not advisable to participate in physical labor too early after giving birth.

3. Improve the technical level of obstetric staff, correctly handle each stage of labor, pay attention to protecting the perineum, repair lacerations in time, and correctly handle dystocia.

4. Prevent and treat chronic diseases such as cough, bronchitis, constipation, etc.

5. Pay attention to physical exercise, strengthen your physical fitness and improve your disease resistance.

Of course, if the above treatment and conditioning methods are still ineffective or the condition worsens, the most thorough method is still surgery. The operation needs to be performed under the professional examination and guidance of a doctor. Patients should also face the disease optimistically and positively, as psychological factors are also a key factor affecting the condition.
