What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a disease that affects women, and this disease is most commonly caused by women who give birth and take confinement after childbirth. It is caused by women not sitting properly during the confinement period. So can Chinese medicine be used to treat uterine prolapse? This is a question that many women will ask. Let's take a look at the Chinese medicine treatments for uterine prolapse:

Uterine prolapse, also known as "vaginal prolapse" or "vaginal prolapse" as described in ancient literature, refers to the uterus descending from its normal position along the vagina to the level of the ischial spine and then down to the vaginal opening, or even protruding out of the vaginal opening. Modern medicine believes that this is caused by excessive abdominal pressure due to various reasons, resulting in decreased elasticity and relaxation of the ligaments and muscle tissues supporting the uterus.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly caused by physical weakness, excessive force during delivery, premature labor after delivery, or long-term cough, constipation, diarrhea, or too many births, excessive sexual intercourse, which lead to damage to the menstruation, spleen qi deficiency, kidney qi deficiency, and inability to maintain balance. Clinically, it is common to feel that something has come out of the vagina, accompanied by low back pain, abdominal distension, fatigue, increased leucorrhea, and frequent urination.

According to the treatment principle of "replenishing the weak and lifting the sunken", massage achieves its therapeutic purpose by replenishing qi, lifting qi, and regulating the spleen and kidneys.

Massage therapy

(1) Sit down and use one finger to push the Baihui acupoint 50 times clockwise and 50 times counterclockwise.

(2) Lie on your back and use the tip of your thumb to massage the Tituo point (4 inches lateral to Guanyuan point, Figure 15-7) and the Gongyu point (3 inches lateral to Zhongji point, Figure 15-7) for 2 minutes each. Then, massage the lower abdomen 50 times clockwise and 50 times counterclockwise. Finally, rub your palms to warm them up and place them against the pubic bone. Then, push upward along the midline from the pubic bone with the base of your palms with even and gentle force.

(5) Lie prone and rub the bladder meridian on the back with your palms for 2 minutes; then rub the Du meridian on the back with your fingers for 2 minutes.

(6) Lie prone and use Zen pushing method to push the spleen, stomach, Guanyuan, kidney, Mingmen, Yaoyangguan and large intestine points on both sides for 1 minute each. Then use the spinal pinching method to repeat the operation from bottom to top for 3 times, and increase the pinching intensity appropriately at the Guanyuan, Qihai (1.5 inches below the spinous process of the third lumbar vertebra), kidney, stomach, spleen and triple burner points.

After understanding the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of this disease, when you suffer from uterine prolapse, you can choose to use this method for treatment, but if necessary, you can also choose Western medicine for treatment. In severe cases of the disease, surgical treatment is required, and uterine prolapse must also insist on using the uterine entrustment method to alleviate the symptoms of the disease.
