What are the causes of uterine prolapse?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Uterine prolapse refers to the descent of the uterus from its normal position along the vagina, with the external os of the cervix reaching a level below the ischial spines, or even the entire uterus falling out of the vaginal opening. The main causes include long-term heavy physical labor, increased abdominal pressure due to constipation, abnormal development or relaxation of uterine ligaments, as well as some surgical complications, all of which can lead to uterine prolapse.
