Patient's question:
I am 29 years old, a woman, 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 I have uterine prolapse, which is quite severe. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of uterine prolapse after a vaginal delivery?Doctor's answer:
After a normal delivery, the main symptoms of uterine prolapse are a feeling of fullness and heaviness in the abdomen when walking, lower back pain, and in severe cases, the uterus may even protrude outside the vagina. Since you have just given birth and your uterus has not fully recovered yet, there is no need to panic. If the symptoms reappear after the baby is one month old, it may indicate uterine prolapse, and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
