Can multiple miscarriages cause uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a very common gynecological disease, also known as uterine prolapse, which is usually accompanied by bulging of the anterior or posterior vaginal wall. The anterior and posterior walls of the vagina are adjacent to the bladder and rectum, so they may be accompanied by bladder and rectal bulging. Patients usually experience symptoms such as abdominal bulging, back pain, increased leucorrhea, and in severe cases, dysuria and urinary retention.

Can multiple miscarriages cause uterine prolapse?

Multiple miscarriages can cause uterine prolapse, especially in patients who need intrauterine surgery. During surgery, the cervix, cervical ligaments, and pelvic floor muscles are easily injured. If you don't take care of it in time after surgery, uterine prolapse is likely to occur. If the uterine body and cervix are completely out of the vagina, surgery must be performed as soon as possible.

What are the causes of uterine prolapse?

1. Aging. With age, especially after menopause, the estrogen level in the body decreases significantly, the pelvic floor support structure shrinks, and the muscles relax, which can lead to uterine prolapse.

2. Increased abdominal pressure: Chronic cough, abdominal obesity, continuous weight bearing, long-term constipation, bronchitis, etc. will increase abdominal pressure and cause the uterus to prolapse.

3. Malnutrition. Severe malnutrition can lead to muscle atrophy, relaxation of the pelvic fascia, weakening of uterine support, uterine prolapse, and is often accompanied by gastroptosis and abdominal wall relaxation.
