How is uterine prolapse treated?

Patient's question:

I think it might be uterine prolapse because I also had this symptom two years ago. The doctor said it was uterine prolapse, not severe, and I always feel comfortable in the lower abdomen with a sense of heaviness. How is uterine prolapse treated?

Doctor's answer:

Light cases do not require additional support. If the vagina is excessively loose, a pessary should be used to encourage the holder, or a band or plastic rope should be tied to the top of the holder and fixed in front and back to the waistband to prevent it from falling out. It should be slightly larger than the perineal (pubococcygeus muscle) fissure. The maximum transverse diameter of the fissure is generally 4 cm, so medium-sized pessaries are commonly used. After a period of time, the pubococcygeus muscle gradually fully recovers its elasticity. Once the detached part is repositioned, edema disappears, weight decreases, and the uterus can no longer prolapse.
