Can malnutrition cause Uterine prolapse? Be alert to the three major hazards of Uterine prolapse

Postpartum is prone to Uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse mainly refers to the falling of female uterus from the normal position. In severe cases, the uterus falls out of the vagina. What exactly causes Uterine prolapse.

What are the causes of Uterine prolapse?

1. Delivery injury

Injury during delivery is the main cause of Uterine prolapse, especially dystocia or prolonged delivery, which is easy to cause Uterosacral ligament and pelvic floor muscle damage, support tissue does not return to normal after delivery, and Uterine prolapse

2. Increase in negative pressure

After giving birth to a child, they will experience 42 days of Postpartum confinement. Most women prefer to lie on their back in bed, which is prone to chronic Urinary retention, leading to posterior uterine position. The direction of the uterine axis and vaginal axis is consistent, and increasing abdominal pressure causes the uterus to prolapse along the direction of the vagina. When women experience constipation, cough, obesity, and ascites, they can all increase abdominal pressure, ultimately promoting uterine prolapse.

3. Malnutrition

Severe malnutrition can lead to muscle atrophy, and over time, the fascia in the pelvis will also relax, causing the uterus to lose some support. Patients with Uterine prolapse caused by malnutrition often have abdominal wall relaxation and gastroptosis.

4. Aging

With the growth of age, women's ovarian function will also decline, thus reducing the secretion of estrogen, making the supporting tissue of the uterus more and more weak and loose, prone to Uterine prolapse.

What are the hazards of Uterine prolapse?

1. Increased menstrual flow

If a woman suddenly finds that her menstruation is increased and accompanied by low back pain, it may be that the uterus pours backward and the position of the fallopian tube changes, which causes pelvic vein distortion, resulting in poor menstruation.

2. Dysmenorrhea

The most serious harm caused by uterine prolapse is dysmenorrhea. A normal uterus can expel blood from the body. When the position of the uterus changes, only by compressing the volume of the uterine cavity can menstrual blood be discharged, which can cause strong abdominal pain in women.

3. Vaginal mass appears

When severe uterine prolapse occurs, spherical objects are pulled out of the female vagina, especially during heavy physical labor and walking. In addition, long-term friction of the uterus can lead to increased secretion, infection, or ulcers, and in severe cases, bleeding or tissue thickening.
