What should be done if an elderly woman with uterine prolapse cannot undergo surgery?

Patient's question:

It has been almost a year since the onset of the illness! Something 2-3 centimeters long is protruding from the vaginal opening! I have seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor

Doctor's answer:

Uterine prolapse often occurs in late life; it may worsen after menopause, because after aging, estrogen levels decline, uterine supporting tissues atrophy, and there is a lack of tension. Similarly, women with weak constitutions or congenital abnormalities in pelvic floor tissue development may also experience uterine prolapse, even if they are young, unmarried, and nulliparous. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a leukorrhea test at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
