Patient's question:
Before New Year's, my mother had a uterine prolapse, in addition to a prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall and a cervical removal. After the procedure, she had to urinate every half hour. After the follow-up examination, it was found that her urinary control could generally hold it for an hour or an hour and a half before needing to urinate. 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:
Premature pregnancy, early marriage and conception, excessive childbirth, and relaxation of pelvic muscle tissues are the most important causes of this condition. Delivery-related injuries, such as those caused by dystocia, precipitate labor, the delivery of a large fetus, or surgical delivery, can all lead to excessive stretching and tearing of the tissues around the cervix, pelvic fascia, and main pelvic floor muscle fascia. Particularly when the cervix has not fully dilated and abdominal pressure is applied prematurely or during the aforementioned surgeries, these supportive structures are severely damaged, weakening or losing their supportive function, which can result in recurrent uterine prolapse. Engaging in heavy physical labor too soon after childbirth, especially tasks that increase abdominal pressure like carrying heavy loads, can lead to uterine prolapse. In severe cases, it may even cause the rectum and bladder to prolapse simultaneously.
