Uterine prolapse is a common disease in women, and it is also one of the most harmful diseases. We need to be clear about the pathogenic factors, especially to take proper prevention measures in daily life.
Hazards of uterine prolapse
1. Uterine prolapse affects pregnancy: Women with uterine prolapse have a certain impact on pregnancy. Uterine prolapse is divided into three degrees, and generally, patients with degree I or II uterine prolapse still have the possibility of pregnancy. If handled properly, it is still possible to conceive after treatment. However, pregnancy still has a certain impact on delivery. Patients with severe uterine prolapse often experience infertility due to difficulty concentrating semen on the posterior dome of the vagina. Patients with uterine prolapse often develop cervical hypertrophy and chronic cervicitis.
2. Uterine prolapse and excessive menstruation: The uterus tilts backwards, and the ovaries and fallopian tubes droop backwards. Variations in the position of the ovarian fallopian tubes can cause symptoms such as pelvic vein distortion, poor blood flow, pelvic venous congestion, excessive menstruation, abdominal distension, low back pain, and sexual intercourse pain.
3. Uterine prolapse causes dysmenorrhea: The shape behind the uterus is like a teapot, the cervical canal is like a teapot mouth, and the uterine body is like a teapot body. As the cervix of the ampulla is located higher than the uterine cavity of the ampulla, it is difficult for menstrual blood in the uterine cavity to be discharged from the bottom of the ampulla through the cervical canal. If you want to expel menstrual blood from the pot, strengthen uterine contraction, and try to compress the volume of the uterine cavity to force menstrual blood. Therefore, women with posterior position of the uterus often experience dysmenorrhea due to spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles.
4. Uterine prolapse can cause endometriosis: Uterine prolapse can cause endometriosis in women. As mentioned above, those with posterior position of the uterus often need to strengthen uterine contraction, and menstrual blood can be expelled from the body through the cervical canal. Strengthening uterine contractions will inevitably increase the pressure inside the uterine cavity. Under high pressure, some menstrual blood may flow back into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes, leading to endometriosis.
Causes of uterine prolapse
1. Delivery injury: The main cause of uterine prolapse. The pelvic floor is mainly composed of the pelvic cavity, pelvic fascia, levator ani muscle, and perineal muscle. Regardless of the amount of abdominal pressure generated during coughing, screen, or standing loads, the above structures or tissues can usually support and fix the organs in the pelvis, keeping them in their normal position. In case of childbirth, especially in difficult labor. Production lag. For those who undergo vaginal surgery or extend the second production process, there may be perineal laceration or extension, tearing of the pelvic muscle membrane and levator ani muscle, weak or defective tissue at the bottom of the pelvis, enlarged urogenital cracks, high abdominal pressure, pushing the non restored large uterus towards the vagina, and uterine prolapse. Especially in cases of poor eating during the postpartum period, the fascia and anal muscles in the pelvis work prematurely without recovery, especially in cases of improper tear repair due to physical labor, including perineal incision, which weakens the normal function of the pelvic floor, and uterine and vaginal prolapse. Proliferation affects support for tissue recovery and is also a factor in sagging.
