Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus descends from its normal position into the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. This condition can happen after childbirth, during menopause, or due to chronic pressure from conditions like obesity or heavy lifting. Symptoms may include a feeling of heaviness, discomfort, or visible bulging in the vaginal area. Treatment options for uterine prolapse vary based on severity and may include pelvic floor exercises, a pessary (a supportive device), or surgery. Maintaining a healthy weight and practicing pelvic floor exercises can help prevent this condition.
