Pelvic organ prolapse is when 1 or more of
the organs in the pelvis slide down from their usual position and protuberance
into the vagina. It can be the womb, bowel, bladder or top of the vagina. It
can be treated via prolapse
uterus treatment non-surgical therapy.
Causes of uterine prolapse
The pelvic floor and related supporting
connective tissues can be enfeebled or impaired in several ways including:
- pregnancy, particularly in the scenario of numerous births (such as twins or triplets) or several pregnancies
- vaginal childbirth, particularly if the baby was big or delivered rapidly, or if there was a protracted pushing stage
- obesity
- strain on the toilet to pass a bowel motion
- low levels of the sex hormone oestrogen post menopause
- severe coughing related with disorders such as chronic bronchitis or asthma
- fibroids
- in rare circumstances, pelvic tumor
Prevention techniques
Some females are at augmented risk of uterine
prolapse. Simple preventive measures embrace:
- pregnancy – pelvic floor workouts during pregnancy
- vaginal childbirth – post-partum pelvic floor workouts
- post-menopause – oestrogen cream to lift flagging hormone levels and
pelvic floor workouts
- obesity – loss of surplus stomach fat with dietary alterations and
regular workout
- Chronic constipation – it is idyllic if you have large, soft, formed
stools. Generally, eating stacks of fruit, vegetables and fiber and drinking lots
of water will help. Evade straining when using your bowels. Manage chronic
constipation in discussion with your surgeon.
- Other conditions – treat underlying conditions (such as asthma and
chronic bronchitis) in discussion with your surgeon.
