What are the causes of uterine prolapse?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I often feel lower abdominal pain, especially during my menstrual period, and I am afraid of cold and cold, afraid that it will affect pregnancy. What are the causes of uterine prolapse?

Doctor's answer:

Premature pregnancy, early marriage and conception, excessive childbirth, and relaxation of pelvic muscle tissues are relatively 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 surrounding the cervix, pelvic fascia, and main pelvic floor muscle fascia. Particularly when the cervix has not fully dilated and excessive abdominal pressure is applied or the aforementioned surgeries are performed, 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, such as carrying heavy loads or lifting, can lead to uterine prolapse. In severe cases, it may even cause the rectum and bladder to prolapse simultaneously.
