Patient's question:
I am 27 years old and have been pregnant for more than a year. The gynecologist conducted a thorough examination and found that my uterus is prolapsed at the 12 o'clock position. The doctor said it is related to sitting for a long time during postpartum recovery and advised me to do more kegel exercises. I am already overweight in the upper body with excess abdominal fat. Besides mild urinary incontinence, how should I treat it? Can kegel exercises and abdominal contractions help tone the uterus? How should I treat mild uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, your condition is considered as Spleen Qi deficiency and middle Qi sinking. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. For your condition, taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang can be very effective. It is suggested to consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital to prescribe herbal decoctions for regulation, which can yield excellent results. Kegel exercises and abdominal contractions are also very helpful for complete recovery. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
