Patient's question:
I am 34 years old, female, and have always experienced menstrual cramps and lower back pain. I previously thought it was just irregular periods, but I was surprised to find out after a thorough medical examination that it was uterine prolapse, and it's quite severe. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of uterine prolapse after childbirth?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum uterine prolapse needs to be assessed based on the specific situation. Mild uterine prolapse generally does not present with particularly obvious symptoms. Moderate curvature may cause recurrent lower abdominal heaviness and fullness, as well as a foreign body sensation. Severe curvature can lead to the uterus detaching from the vaginal opening, causing friction and infection, which requires treatment. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their condition to receive targeted treatment and achieve a quick recovery.
