Patient's question:
Uterine prolapse, is it serious? It has been like this for several months. After a thorough examination, it was said that it is uterine prolapse. Please ask what are the main diagnostic criteria for uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
The main reasons are the damage to the cervix, main ligaments of the cervix, and uterosacral ligaments caused by labor, and the failure of the postpartum recovery alliance to return to normal. Additionally, during the postpartum period, women often prefer to lie prone, and it is easy to develop chronic urinary retention of the second-order neurons. The uterus tends to be in a retroverted position, with the uterine axis aligned with the vaginal axis. When abdominal pressure increases, the uterus rises along the vaginal direction, leading to recurrent prolapse. Postpartum habits such as squatting for work (e.g., changing diapers, washing dishes) can also increase abdominal pressure, forcing the uterus to prolapse.
