Patient's question:
For a while, I felt like something was falling out of the vagina, but it went away after sitting for a while. When I put my hand into the vagina, I found that the cervix might only be 2 centimeters away from the vaginal opening. Is it uterine prolapse? How should I take care after uterine prolapse surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine prolapse, also known as uterine prolapse, occurs when the inner wall of the uterus cannot contract and recover properly, bending into the vagina. In severe cases, it may extend outside the body. The general symptoms of uterine prolapse include at least a sensation of heaviness, chronic lower back pain, and in severe cases, it may affect the bladder and rectum, leading to frequent urination, incomplete urination, or difficulty defecating. The best treatment for uterine prolapse is surgical therapy, but surgery carries risks, so medication is still recommended. There are several treatment methods in gynecology, but since patients' conditions vary, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
