Patient's question:
During this time, I often feel as if someone is pulling my lower abdomen downward. This sensation is particularly noticeable when I'm squatting. After checking at the hospital, they said it's uterine prolapse. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me: What is the best way to treat uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
When a woman experiences uterine prolapse again, the first step is to determine the degree of prolapse. Clinically, uterine prolapse is classified into three degrees:I degree: The cervix hangs below the hymen, less than 4 cm away, but does not protrude outside the vaginal opening.
- Mild type: The external os of the cervix is less than 4 cm from the edge of the hymen, but does not reach the hymen.
- Severe type: The cervix has reached the edge of the hymen, and the cervix is clearly visible outside the vaginal opening.
II degree: The cervix and part of the uterine body have prolapsed outside the vaginal opening.
- Mild type: The cervix prolapses outside the vaginal opening, while the body of the uterus remains inside the vagina.
- Severe type: Part of the uterine body prolapses outside the vaginal opening.
