Patient's question:
Medical history: The condition has been present for three years, and I have taken traditional Chinese medicine and patent medicine. I have been treated at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University. The doctor recommended surgery, but I did not undergo it. Past treatment and effectiveness: The medication did not work well. What kind of help do you want: Inquiry: How effective is uterosacral suspension surgery for treating this condition, what is its effectiveness, and how much pain does it cause?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine prolapse is also known as uterine prolapse. The inner wall of the uterus cannot contract and recover properly, prolapsing into the vagina. In severe cases, it may extend outside the body. The general symptoms of uterine prolapse include at least a sensation of heaviness (the feeling that something is about to fall out of the lower abdomen), chronic lower back pain, and in severe cases, it can affect the bladder and rectum, leading to frequent urination, incomplete urination, or difficulty in bowel movements. Mild uterine prolapse usually does not cause symptoms and does not require treatment. For those with symptoms but who are not suitable for surgery due to other chronic conditions, a pessary can be used to alleviate symptoms. It is recommended to strengthen nutrition, get adequate rest, maintain a balance between work and rest, and keep bowel movements regular. Avoid activities that compress the lower abdomen, which can increase abdominal pressure, and heavy physical labor. It is also recommended to perform Kegel exercises and knee-chest position daily, twice a day, for 10 minutes each time.
