Uterine prolapse is a serious problem for many women. The disease manifests itself by pulling pains in the uterus, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, impaired urination, unpleasant discharge from the vagina. There are frequent cases when women take such a situation as a tumor and are afraid to contact doctors, thereby complicating their situation.
Very often, when the uterus is lowered, its prolapse occurs. This happens due to the fact that the internal genital organs have shifted and were in the wrong location. Not always the cervix comes out of the genital gap, even if the woman is pushing. But when the uterus comes out from the genital gap, it is considered a prolapse, which can be partial or complete.
When the uterus is omitted, the physiological boundary of the genital organs is shifted along the axis of the pelvis due to weakening of muscle tone and sprain.
This aporia is found in women of different ages. Up to forty years, 40% of patients are diagnosed, and after fifty more than half of women. Gynecological operations have to do 15% of patients with prolapse of the uterus or its prolapse.
There are cases when pelvic organ prolapse has been observed since childhood. With the omission of the uterus, the disease begins to progress gradually, which leads to severe physical and emotional suffering of a woman, and sometimes even leads to disability.
In the normal position of the uterus, the genitals in the small pelvis are located at a distance characteristic of its anatomical structure, and due to its physiological mobility, it can easily change position as the rectum or bladder fills.
In order for the genitals to always remain in the correct position, the uterus must have a good own tone, ligamentous and muscular apparatus.
Causes of uterine prolapse
The omission of the uterus in women can be caused by numerous reasons:
- pathological birth;
- frequent constipation;
- overweight;
- lack of female sex hormones;
- heavy physical labor;
- a large number of births or abortions;
- improper predisposition of the uterus;
- connective tissue dysplasia.
There are three degrees of uterine prolapse:
- The uterus is lowered, but does not extend beyond the vagina.
- The uterus is lowered and partially falls out at the slightest straining (during coughing or sneezing, for example).
- The entire area of the uterus protrudes to the surface of the genital gap.
Preventative measures
Modern medicine uses two methods of treating the disease in women: conservative and surgical. But it is better to prevent the disease than to bring it to extreme measures.
With the omission of the uterus, life does not end. With this diagnosis, you can lead a familiar lifestyle. The main thing is to adhere to elementary rules: in no case do not lift weights, reduce physical activity to a minimum, conduct regular examinations with a gynecologist.
To avoid the unpleasant problems of prolapse (omission of the uterus), train the muscular apparatus of the pelvic organs. Special exercises in this situation are needed not only for prevention, but are the only treatment for the disease if it is at an early stage. During the exercise, the walls of the abdominal cavity are strengthened, which helps maintain the genitals.
