Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. My mother-in-law has uterine prolapse. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after an elderly woman experiences recurrent uterine prolapse, the first step is to determine the degree of prolapse. Clinically, uterine prolapse is classified into three degrees:I degree: The cervix hangs below the hymen by less than 4 cm but does not protrude outside the vaginal opening.
- Mild type: The external os of the cervix is less than 4 cm from the edge of the hymen but does not reach it.
- Severe type: The cervix has reached the edge of the hymen, and the cervix is clearly visible outside the vaginal opening.
II degree: The cervix and part of the uterine body have prolapsed outside the vaginal opening.
- Mild type: The cervix prolapses outside the vaginal opening, while the body of the uterus remains inside the vagina.
- Severe type: Part of the uterine body prolapses outside the vaginal opening.
