Uterine prolapse, a condition where the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments supporting the uterus weaken, often occurs in old age or following deliveries or surgical interventions. This weakening can result in the uterus slipping down or protruding out of the vagina.
Minimal uterine prolapse typically doesn't require treatment. However, if symptoms or discomfort arise, intervention becomes essential. Various treatment options, including surgical and non-surgical approaches, exist to address uterine prolapse based on its severity and impact on well-being.
In surgical interventions such as prolapsed uterus surgery or pelvic organ prolapse surgery, the goal is to restore the normal position of pelvic organs, including the uterus. Non-surgical treatments may involve the use of a pessary for uterine prolapse, a device placed in the vagina to provide support. Additionally, exercises and lifestyle modifications serve as non-surgical approaches.
