Uterine prolapse occurs when weakened pelvic muscles and ligaments fail to support the uterus, causing it to descend into the vaginal canal. This condition can lead to:
-
Pelvic pressure or heaviness
-
Urinary incontinence or retention
-
Bowel movement difficulties
-
Discomfort during intercourse
Treatment Options Based on Severity
1. Non-Surgical Treatments (Mild to Moderate Cases)
✔ Pelvic Floor Therapy (Kegel Exercises) – Strengthens supporting muscles
✔ Lifestyle Modifications – Weight management, avoiding heavy lifting
✔ Vaginal Pessary – A removable silicone device that supports uterine positioning
2. Surgical Treatments (Moderate to Severe Cases)
✔ Hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus (traditional or minimally invasive)
✔ Uterine Suspension – Repositioning the uterus using sutures or mesh
✔ Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery – Repairs weakened tissues for long-term support
Choosing the Right Treatment
Factors influencing treatment decisions include:
✅ Severity of prolapse (Stage 1 to Stage 4)
✅ Patient’s age & future pregnancy plans
✅ Overall health & surgical risks
✅ Symptom impact on daily life
