Patient's question:
Uterine prolapse for 6 years has now reached the vaginal opening, causing inconvenience in daily life. There is always a sticky discharge in underwear. Additionally, there are uterine fibroids that have been present for 8 years and are currently 0.8 cm in size. In July 2011, endometrial hyperplasia was discovered, and an IUD was inserted in August. Currently, the condition is doing well.Doctor's answer:
Uterine prolapse, also known as uterine prolapse, occurs when the inner wall of the uterus cannot contract and recover properly, causing it to droop into the vagina. In severe cases, it may even extend outside the body. The general symptoms of uterine prolapse include at least a sensation of heaviness (as if something is about to fall out from the lower abdomen). It can also cause chronic lower back pain, and in severe cases, it may affect the bladder and rectum, leading to frequent urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, or difficulty in bowel movements.For severe cases, surgical treatment is often considered the best approach for uterine prolapse. This involves performing a vaginal hysterectomy, followed by the proper fixation of supporting tissues such as the cardinal ligaments. Additionally, the pelvic floor muscles and vaginal walls are repaired. This includes suturing the anterior vaginal wall mucosa to prevent bladder prolapse and suturing the posterior vaginal wall mucosa to prevent rectal prolapse.
