Patient's question:
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 cold drafts. How is uterine prolapse treated? After undergoing a repair surgery for uterine prolapse, how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine prolapse refers to the descent of the uterus from its normal position along the vagina, with the external cervix reaching a level below the ischial spines, or even the entire uterus detaching from the vaginal opening. It is often accompanied by anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse. It is recommended to undergo relevant gynecological examinations to diagnose the degree of uterine prolapse. Since prolapse of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls can also cause a sensation of foreign bodies within the vagina, appropriate physical exercise should be performed regularly to improve physical fitness. Avoid prolonged standing or squatting, holding one's breath, or other actions that increase abdominal pressure. Enhance nutrition and consume foods that are beneficial for Qi and kidney health. In addition, during the treatment of uterine prolapse, besides symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important.
