Patient's question:
Due to my early divorce and having a baby, it caused excessive relaxation of the childbirth and pelvic muscle tissues, and also led to injuries during labor, resulting in uterine prolapse. Can several doctors tell me if the uterus can heal on its own after childbirth?Doctor's answer:
The self-healing of postpartum uterine prolapse depends on the degree of prolapse and the patient's own physical condition. Mild uterine prolapse can be self-healed through postpartum rehabilitation. Mild uterine prolapse refers to the distance between the external orifice of the cervix and the hymen edge being less than 4 cm. This condition can be treated through kegel exercises or the use of postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation devices to achieve the goal of treatment. When the cervix has protruded beyond the hymen edge or part of the uterine body has already fallen out of the vaginal opening, it is recommended that the patient seek follow-up treatment at a local relevant hospital. Based on the examination results, the patient should undergo rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of a doctor. It is also important to pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, prevent strenuous activities, maintain a cheerful mood, exercise appropriately, and enhance physical fitness.
