Treatment Options For Uterine Prolapse

• En general, el prolapso uterino está asociado con el prolapso de otros órganos pélvicos. Podrías tener lo siguiente:
  • Prolapso anterior (cistocele). La debilidad del tejido conjuntivo que separa la vejiga y la vagina puede hacer que la vejiga sobresalga en la vagina. El prolapso anterior también se denomina «vejiga prolapsada».
  • Prolapso vaginal posterior (rectocele). La debilidad del tejido conjuntivo que separa el recto y la vagina puede hacer que el recto sobresalga en la vagina. Es posible que tengas dificultad para evacuar los intestinos.

  El prolapso uterino grave puede desplazar parte del revestimiento vaginal, lo que hace que sobresalga fuera del cuerpo. El tejido vaginal que roza la ropa puede producir llagas en la vagina (úlceras) Rara vez, las llagas pueden infectarse.

To reduce your risk of uterine prolapse, try the following:

• Do Kegel exercisesThese exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which is especially important after having a baby.
• Treats and prevents constipation.Drink plenty of fluids and eat high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains.
• Lift objects correctly and avoid heavy lifting.When lifting objects, use your legs instead of your waist or back.
• Control the cough.Seek treatment for chronic cough or bronchitis, and don’t smoke.
• Avoid weight gain.Talk to your doctor to determine your ideal weight and get advice on weight-loss strategies if you need them.

• Pressure or heaviness in the pelvis or vagina
• Problems with sexual intercourse
• Leakage of urine or sudden urge to urinate
• Lumbago
• Protrusion of the uterus and cervix into the vaginal opening
• Repeated bladder infections
• Vaginal bleeding
• Increased vaginal discharge

Symptoms are worse when you sit or stand for a long time. Exercising or lifting things can also make symptoms worse.

The doctor will do a pelvic exam. You will be asked to bear down as if you were trying to push out a baby. This shows how much the uterus has dropped.

• Uterine prolapse is mild when the cervix falls to the bottom of the vagina.
• Uterine prolapse is moderate when the cervix drops outside the vaginal opening.

Other conclusions from the pelvic exam may be:

• The bladder and anterior vaginal wall are protruding into the vagina (cystocele).
• The rectum and the back wall of the vagina (rectocele) are bulging into the vagina.
• The urethra and bladder are lower in the pelvis than normal.
