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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is uterine prolapse treatable?Doctor's answer:
The severity of uterine prolapse varies, and treatment measures differ. If it is only mild bending, conservative treatment can be performed, including exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles to enhance their supporting function, taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang, using a pessary, and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting. For severe prolapse, surgical treatment is required. Tennis ball therapy can also treat mild uterine prolapse. For example, Kegel exercises involve tightening the anal sphincter and performing them continuously for about 10 minutes each time, several times a day. The first exercise should be done before going to bed. For severe prolapse, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as early as possible. In addition to symptomatic treatment for gynecological diseases, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood.
