You can first notice signs after standing or sitting for an extended period of time. The National Institutes of Health reports the signs can include:

• Pelvic or vaginal pressure or heaviness.

• Low back pain.

• Urinary leakage or an overwhelming need to drain the bladder.

• Repeated urinary tract infections.

• Significant increase in vaginal discharge.

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding.

• Bulging uterus and cervix into the pelvic gap.

• Sexual intercourse difficulties.

Exercising or lifting can exacerbate symptoms.


How Will Prolapse of the Uterus Be Prevented?


Kegel movements tend to stabilise the pelvic floor muscles. Properly performed Kegel exercises will help improve your muscles and lower your risk of uterine prolapse.

Following menopause, oestrogen treatment can also help boost the vaginal muscle tone.


What Is the Diagnosis of Uterine Prolapse?


A pelvic test may be performed by the health care professional. You're almost certainly going to be asked to buckle down as though you're delivering an infant. This information will assist the physician in determining the extent of which the uterus has fallen and its location in relation to the vagina and other organs.


How is Uterine Prolapse Treated?


If you are not bothered by signs, you do not need medication. It is possible that the situation would settle on its own without any specific prolapsed uterus treatment.

If your symptoms are moderate, you may need to begin by addressing uterine prolapse by self-care.


• Lose weight (particularly if you are overweight).

• Avoid strenuous pulling or bending.

• Treat any persistent coughs you might have. If the cough is a result of smoke, consider stopping.
