What are the symptoms of uterine prolapse after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I am 25 years old and have given birth to two children. Currently, I am 28 days postpartum. I have noticed that many women experience uterine prolapse after giving birth, so when I was cleaning my vulva, I moved it aside and noticed a red lump blocking the vagina, but it hasn't completely fallen out of the vaginal opening yet. I'm very scared.

Doctor's answer:

The image you uploaded is too blurry to confirm whether there is uterine prolapse based solely on this photo. This would be too hasty.
Suggestion: Seek medical attention as soon as possible for a gynecological examination. During the examination, observe any changes while performing a Valsalva maneuver (bearing down while holding your breath to increase abdominal pressure). Then, review the detailed examination results to confirm whether it is indeed uterine prolapse. Only after this should you decide on the appropriate treatment plan.
