Patient's question:
My qi and blood are quite weak, so my uterus has been dropping down all the time. Now it has prolapsed to a very severe extent. I can reach my hand into the vaginal opening and feel the uterus. It's particularly distressing to see the entire uterus have dropped out. What can be done about uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
Patient, based on the symptoms you described, it is considered that you may have second-degree uterine prolapse. You can decide on pelvic floor muscle exercises (biofeedback therapy or electrical stimulation therapy), which can help stabilize mild first-degree and second-degree uterine prolapse, reduce symptoms of stress urinary incontinence, and may also consider using a pessary based on your personal condition. Additionally, surgical treatment can be an option, with the goal of completely eliminating symptoms and repairing pelvic floor supportive tissues. Most often, the Manchester procedure is used, which is suitable for younger patients with cervical shortening who wish to preserve their uterus. It is necessary to decide on the treatment method based on your specific condition.
