What to do if you have uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse can be treated conservatively or surgically, depending on the severity of symptoms and the patient's needs.

1. Conservative treatment: Suitable for patients with 1° clinically asymptomatic prolapse.

1. Supportive treatment: In order to strengthen nutrition, it is necessary to properly arrange rest and work time, avoid heavy physical labor, and maintain smooth bowel movements.

2. Treatment with pessary or pelvic floor muscle exercise.

①. Treatment with a uterine stent is the simplest and most effective treatment method. A uterine stent is a tool that keeps the uterus and vaginal wall from falling off. It is available in trumpet, ring and spherical shapes. It is suitable for various degrees of uterine prolapse and anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse. It should be inserted every morning and removed before going to bed. It should be cleaned every day. After placing a uterine stent, it should be reviewed every three to six months. However, a uterine stent is not suitable for patients with 3° uterine prolapse, significant pelvic floor atrophy, cervical and vaginal wall inflammation and ulcers.

② Pelvic floor muscle exercise: Pelvic floor muscle exercise can increase the tension of the pelvic floor muscle group. For patients with mild uterine prolapse, it can relieve the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence, but it is ineffective for patients with 3° prolapse.

2. Surgical treatment: If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical method will be selected according to the patient's age, degree of prolapse, fertility requirements and overall health condition.
