Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what are the possible causes of uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
Uterine prolapse refers to a syndrome of perinatal adjacent organ displacement where the supporting tissues of the uterus are injured or weakened, causing the uterus to ascend along the vagina from its normal position, with the external os of the cervix below the ischial spines or even the entire uterus falling outside the vaginal opening. It is classified into three degrees based on the degree of prolapse. Patients with uterine prolapse often experience lower back pain, and in severe cases, it can affect the bladder and rectum, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, or difficulty defecating. For recurrent cases of uterine prolapse, a combined approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as measures integrating treatment, nutrition, and rest, is recommended.
