Patient's question:
I am 24 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 I have uterine prolapse, which is quite severe. Could you please explain what uterine prolapse after an abortion means?Doctor's answer:
The meaning of uterine prolapse in women is that the uterus moves upward from its normal position to a level below the external cervical os, and in severe cases, it may completely detach from the vaginal opening. Your condition may be a symptom that reappears after an induced abortion. You should promptly go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive timely treatment. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
