Patient's question:
I had two abortions two years ago. I have been wanting a child ever since, but I haven't been able to have one until now. I've made some efforts, and finally got pregnant this month. However, I'm now experiencing some bleeding. After a thorough examination, the doctor said it's due to uterine prolapse. What kind of help do I need: Are there any dietary methods in traditional Chinese medicine for uterine prolapse?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal prolapse refers to the descent of the uterus to the outside of the vaginal opening. The main causes are qi deficiency and sinking, as well as stomach deficiency and lack of firmness, leading to damage to the cellular ligaments and the inability to lift the uterus. If you perform kegel exercises, tighten the anus forcefully, and repeat for about 10 minutes each time, several times a day, the first exercise should be done before going to bed. In cases of severe prolapse, surgical treatment is recommended early. It is advised to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a check-up. There are treatment methods available, but do not self-medicate. Let the doctor examine your condition and provide the appropriate treatment plan.
