Surgical methods for uterine prolapse

Surgical methods for uterine prolapse:

Uterine prolapse:

Uterine prolapse is a common physiological disease in women. It refers to the uterus descending from its normal position along the vagina, with the cervical outlet reaching below the level of the ischial spine, or even the uterus completely detaching from the vaginal outlet, often accompanied by bulging of the anterior and/or posterior vaginal walls. The anterior and posterior walls of the vagina are adjacent to the bladder and rectum, so uterine prolapse may also be accompanied by swelling of the bladder, urethra, and rectum. Uterine prolapse is related to the relaxation of the ligaments supporting the uterus and the weakening of the pelvic floor support, and is more common in women who have multiple births, malnutrition, and physical labor.

Main causes of uterine prolapse:

Childbirth, especially difficult labor, prolonged second stage of labor or vaginal surgery, can easily cause damage to the cervix, cardinal cervical ligaments, sacroiliac ligaments and pelvic floor muscles. If the supporting tissue does not return to normal after childbirth, uterine prolapse is likely to occur.

Symptoms of uterine prolapse:

Patients will consciously sag their abdomen, and the back pain will be more obvious when walking or squatting. In mild prolapse, the vaginal prolapse can be automatically retracted after lying down and resting. In severe cases, the prolapse cannot be retracted, affecting movement. The thickening, keratinization or erosion and ulceration of the cervical mucosa surface are caused by long-term exposure. Patients have increased leucorrhea, sometimes purulent or bloody, and some have menstrual disorders and excessive menstrual bleeding. When accompanied by cystocele, dysuria, urinary retention, stress urinary incontinence, etc. may occur.
