Because uterine prolapse, especially if it is mild, is a problem that can be prevented or at least stopped from progressing with various exercises, it is very important in terms of the treatment process that people follow their symptoms closely.
Mild degrees of uterine prolapse can be reversed with Kegel exercises. However, in the case of moderate or advanced uterine prolapse, surgery is definitely required.
For this reason, those who have a possibility of developing uterine prolapse must certainly do their exercises and keep their condition under control.
Do not let your weight become a problem
When how uterine prolapse comes about is examined, it is generally seen that women who have had a vaginal birth (normal birth), who have given birth to a heavy baby, who have had a difficult birth or who have a history of an assisted birth are at risk. Yet it should not be forgotten that overweight women are also at risk.
Excess weight can cause various problems, first and foremost urinary incontinence. The excess weight a person carries increases the pressure that forms inside the abdomen.
This situation means the weakening of the pelvic muscles over time. As a result of the weakness that develops in the muscles, problems such as uterine prolapse and bladder prolapse can arise.
The main causes of uterine prolapse
As we have mentioned, excess weight is a problem that triggers the development of uterine prolapse. Besides this, ageing, genetic factors, multiple pregnancy, a large number of normal births, the baby being large in relation to the mother, chronic constipation and a long-lasting cough can cause uterine prolapse.
For this reason people should be alert to uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse, which can arise even in a woman who has never given birth, is a situation that must certainly be paid attention to, since it will directly affect the person’s quality of life in a negative way.
Listen to the symptoms of uterine prolapse
Constipation is the most important symptom of uterine prolapse. In addition, when the problem of constipation, which can also be a cause of uterine prolapse, continues for a long time, it is necessary to see a specialist.
Consulting a doctor because of a long-lasting constipation problem can enable measures to be taken that will protect the person from uterine prolapse that is still in the stage of developing, or it helps treatment to be started easily through the diagnosis of uterine prolapse at its initial stage.
A mass protruding from the vagina is among the symptoms of uterine prolapse at an advanced level. Besides this, symptoms such as urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, pain occurring during sexual intercourse and the loss of sexual desire linked to it, and leaking wind also point to uterine prolapse.
At the initial stage of uterine prolapse a feeling of pressure develops in the groin area. In these situations it is essential to see a specialist.
