uterine prolapse
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, especially with multiple deliveries, or due to factors like aging, obesity, or chronic coughing. Symptoms may include a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic area, urinary issues, or discomfort during sexual activity.
Treatment options for uterine prolapse vary based on severity and may include pelvic floor exercises, a pessary (a device inserted into the vagina), or surgery. Early diagnosis and management can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.
