Uterine prolapse is a condition that occurs when the uterus descends into the vaginal canal, sometimes protruding outside the body. It is most commonly caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments that support the uterus, often due to childbirth, aging, or hormonal changes. Uterine prolapse can cause a range of symptoms, including a sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis, vaginal bleeding or discharge, difficulty urinating or having a bowel movement, and pain during sex.
Treatment options for uterine prolapse vary depending on the severity of the condition and the woman's individual needs, but may include pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery. Women who experience symptoms of uterine prolapse should seek medical attention from a healthcare provider who can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options.
