What is hysterectomy?

When something goes wrong with our body, the first thing we should do is to think of ways to solve it. Only by healing can we live a healthy life. Of course, when a woman has uterine prolapse, the first thing to think about is what method to use to solve the problem. Hysterectomy is one of the treatments for uterine prolapse. Of course, there are many other treatments for uterine prolapse. First, let us take a look at what hysterectomy means? Knowing this, we don’t have to be afraid of anything.

There are three degrees of uterine prolapse:

Grade I: Mild: The external cervical os is less than 4 cm away from the hymen edge and has not yet reached the hymen edge; Severe: The external cervical os has reached the hymen edge and the cervix can be seen at the vaginal opening;

Grade II mild: the external opening of the cervix has prolapsed outside the vaginal opening, and the uterine body is still inside the vagina; severe: the cervix and part of the uterine body have prolapsed outside the vaginal opening;

Grade III: The cervix and uterine body are completely prolapsed outside the vaginal opening.

The main treatments for uterine prolapse include:

1. Strengthen nutrition, arrange rest and work properly, avoid heavy physical labor, maintain smooth bowel movements, and actively treat diseases that increase abdominal pressure for a long time, such as chronic bronchitis, etc.

2. Pessaries are suitable for patients with various degrees of uterine prolapse and anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse. They are not suitable for patients with cervical and vaginal wall inflammation, genital tract ulcers and severe prolapse that cannot be retracted. Choose a pessary of appropriate size, place it under the guidance of a doctor, use it during the day, take it out at night, wash it and set it aside

3. Pelvic muscle (levator ani muscle) exercise is suitable for patients with mild uterine prolapse, 10-15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day. This therapy can be combined with taking the Chinese medicine Buzhong Yiqi Decoction

4. Surgical treatment is suitable for prolapse of grade II or above. The principle of surgery is to restore the normal anatomical position of the uterus or remove the uterus, remove excess mucosa of the vaginal wall, and suture and repair the pelvic floor muscles. Commonly used surgical methods include: anterior and posterior vaginal wall repair, anterior and posterior vaginal wall repair + partial cervical resection and main ligament shortening, ligament suspension surgery, total vaginal hysterectomy and anterior and posterior vaginal wall repair, etc.

You don't have to do a hysterectomy, but regarding your problem, I suggest you come to my clinic for a check-up, because without examining the patient, I cannot give any treatment advice or explain clearly.

It is very necessary for many women to understand hysterectomy. After all, in this society where people's physical fitness is generally weak, everyone should attach great importance to all aspects of their physical health. Even if they do not have any disease, they should take time to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. In this way, we can work with peace of mind, have an understanding of our own bodies, and ensure physical health and other issues.
