Uterine prolapse is a fairly common disease, which is more often diagnosed in women after 40 years, although it can also occur between the ages of 20-30. The disease develops gradually, constantly progressing. Fortunately, treatment for uterine prolapse almost always gives a positive result.

There are several degrees of development of the disease. The first degree is characterized by gaping of the genital fissure and a slight omission of the vaginal walls. In the second degree, the walls of the vagina, bladder, and rectum are lowered. In the third degree, the cervix is located directly at the entrance to the vagina. The fourth degree is an incomplete prolapse of the organ, while the neck extends beyond the vagina. With the fifth degree, complete prolapse of the organ with the inverted walls of the vagina is noted.
With the omission of the uterus, pain occurs in the abdomen, sacrum, sometimes in the lower back. A woman feels the presence of a foreign body in the vagina and experiences pain during sexual contact. White or bloody discharge appears. Frequent urination is observed. Urine does not hold on when sneezing, laughing, coughing, or exercising. Sometimes intestinal disorders occur: constipation, hemorrhoids, gas, fecal incontinence. With prolapse of the uterus, as a rule, other diseases of the genitourinary system develop: nephritis, prolapse of the kidneys, cystitis and others.
