Patient's question:
Before New Year's, my mother had a uterine prolapse surgery, including anterior vaginal wall prolapse and cervical removal. After the surgery, she had to urinate every half hour. After the follow-up examination, her urine control improved to urinating once every hour or one and a half hours. This significantly interfered with the quality of her deep sleep. I would like to ask if there are any treatment methods available?Doctor's answer:
The severity of uterine prolapse varies, and treatment measures differ. If it is only mild bending, conservative treatment can be performed, including exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles to enhance their supporting function, taking Zhong Yang Yi Qi Tang, using pessary, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting. For severe prolapse, surgical treatment is required. Tennis ball therapy can also treat mild uterine prolapse. For example, Kegel exercises involve tightening the anus and performing continuous contractions for about 10 minutes each time, several times a day. The first exercise should be done before going to bed. For severe prolapse, early surgical treatment is recommended. For serious gynecological patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment, avoiding the use of medication.
