Genital prolapse or prolapse of the internal genital organs is a rather serious problem that modern women often encounter. This condition is characterized by the fact that organs that are normally located in the pelvis, fall down, protruding into the vagina.
The lack of full physical activity in combination with childbirth often leads to the fact that the walls of the vagina are weakened, and the cervix is lowered into it. Genital prolapse is a serious gynecological disease that requires mandatory treatment. In simple cases, it is possible to solve the problem by conservative methods. But sometimes you can’t cope with simple gymnastics and massage and you have to resort to surgery.
What causes can cause cervical prolapse? Prolapse of internal organs occurs due to weakening of the ligaments that support the uterus and other pelvic organs in a normal position.
For example, after childbirth, the ligaments and muscles that support the uterus are so weak that intense exercise can provoke the cervix prolapse. Therefore, in the postpartum period, it is very important to avoid weight lifting. At first, it is recommended to pick up a child in his arms only in a sitting position.
Hard work associated with constant loads can also provoke weakening of ligaments. Of course, a single load is unlikely to immediately cause a prolapse of the cervix, but systematic effects, combined with an indifferent attitude to their female health, will necessarily create a problem.
In addition, an increase in intra-abdominal pressure associated with obesity, chronic cough, and surgical interventions can lead to mixing of internal organs.
What threatens the omission of the internal genital organs? Moving from its place, the uterus squeezes the remaining organs of the small pelvis, leading to disturbances in their work. Therefore, women with such a problem not only experience pain, but also suffer from urination disorders, constipation and complete genital dysfunction.
If there is no treatment, then the displacement of the internal organs will progress. In the initial stage of the disease, women complain of pulling pains in the abdomen and lower back, the appearance of whites and spotting, sensations of the presence of a foreign object in the vagina.
As the disease progresses, urological and proctological problems are added. So, the omission of the front wall of the uterus leads to compression of the bladder, which leads to impaired outflow of urine and can trigger the development of cystitis, pyelonephritis, the formation of stones in the kidneys and bladder. In advanced cases, urinary incontinence is noted.
Proctologic problems are characterized by the appearance of chronic constipation, the development of colitis, gas and fecal incontinence.
If the prolapse of the uterus is not treated, then this will lead to its prolapse. In this case, a woman can independently detect a protrusion protruding from the genital gap. Such an unnatural arrangement of the uterus leads to its traumatization, the formation of expressions and deep bedsores on the surface.
The treatment of uterine prolapse is selected by the gynecologist, depending on the degree of development of the disease. So, in the initial stages it is recommended physiotherapy exercises, special massage, hormonal drugs can be prescribed that help strengthen the ligamentous apparatus of the pelvis.
In advanced cases, the operation is indicated when the uterus is lowered. Today, many operational methods have been developed to eliminate the problem. The most radical treatment option is the complete removal of the uterus. But this method, as a rule, is used only for older women. In other cases, it is possible to eliminate the omission of organs by more gentle methods.
