What are the causes of uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse is a disease that mainly occurs in women. Patients will experience symptoms such as vaginal prolapse pain, increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, and urinary pain, which are related to the influence of various factors. Different causes are different in treatment methods. Patients should not blindly treat. They should go to a regular hospital for a gynecological examination, find out the cause, and then carry out targeted treatment according to the actual situation, which can promote faster healing of uterine prolapse.

1. Childbirth injuries, such as dystocia, prolonged second stage of labor or vaginal operative delivery, and multiple deliveries may cause damage to the cervical cardinal ligament, uterosacral ligament and pelvic floor muscles. If the normal state cannot be restored after delivery, uterine prolapse will occur.

2. Increased abdominal pressure, such as long-term standing, strenuous exercise, coughing, laughing, etc., and then the uterus descends along the vagina, leading to prolapse.

3. Congenital developmental abnormalities refer to the poor development of the supporting tissues of the reproductive organs, which may also occur in women who have no experience in childbirth.

4. Malnutrition. Severe malnutrition can cause relaxation of the pelvic fascia, muscle atrophy, and loss of support for the uterus, leading to uterine prolapse.

5. With age, the decline in ovarian function in middle-aged and elderly women will lead to a decrease in estrogen secretion, so the pelvic floor support tissue will become weak and loose, and induce uterine prolapse.

The above are several main causes of uterine prolapse. According to the cause and severity of the disease, patients should also pay attention to rest more, avoid standing for a long time, avoid strenuous exercise, and avoid excessive obesity. Patients should also adjust their personal mental state, avoid too much mental pressure, and actively treat various chronic gynecological diseases, which will be of great help to the recovery of uterine prolapse.
