Uterine prolapse can also occur from time to time in daily life, and its occurrence poses a serious threat to women. We need to understand the causes and pay attention to prevention in daily life and childbirth.
Causes of uterine prolapse
1. Long term elevated abdominal pressure: such as chronic cough, habitual constipation, long-term weight-bearing labor, frequent exercise with improper force, and tumors in the abdominal cavity can all cause elevated abdominal pressure and promote uterine descent.
2. Pregnancy: This is the most common cause of uterine prolapse. In general, women who have given birth multiple times are more likely to experience uterine prolapse. However, even during their first pregnancy, uterine prolapse may occur. This is because late pregnancy and childbirth injuries such as giant babies and difficult labor can also damage the uterine ligaments.
3. Delivery injury: For example, if the delivery time is too long, it is difficult to deliver, and if the postpartum baby is prone to damage the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, it may get out of bed too early to do household chores, or perform heavy labor too early.
4. Excessive intraperitoneal pressure: such as excessive obesity, prolonged cough, constipation, compression of pelvic tumors, and increased intraperitoneal pressure. Make the uterus droop.
5. Dysplasia of pelvic floor tissue: Some women have congenital uterine and pelvic floor muscle development, and congenital pelvic floor muscle relaxation can also cause uterine prolapse.
6. After various pelvic surgeries: After various pelvic surgeries, the uterus may also droop. Uterine prolapse is also a sequela phenomenon after many pelvic surgeries.
7. Long term weight-bearing activities: Women often engage in physical labor or engage in overloaded exercise, especially weightlifting training and weight-bearing activities, which increases abdominal pressure and greatly increases the likelihood of developing uterine or visceral prolapse.
8. Premature pregnancy: Premature marriage and childbirth, or excessive childbirth and pelvic muscle tissue relaxation are the most important reasons for this disease. Delivery injuries, such as delayed delivery, emergency delivery, giant fetal delivery, surgical delivery, etc., can cause excessive extension and laceration of the paracervical tissue, pelvic fascia, and main fascia of the pelvic floor muscle.
9. Amenorrhea: According to reports, uterine prolapse accounts for about two-thirds of amenorrhea. After menopause, estrogen levels are insufficient, and hormone dependent reproductive organs and tissues begin to atrophy and degenerate. The elasticity of pelvic muscles decreases, supporting the relaxation of uterine ligaments, resulting in overall weakness and weakness of the pelvic bottom tissue
