Uterine prolapse is a familiar gynecological disease that poses serious harm to women. We need to know how it occurs and understand preventive measures.
The 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 the difficulty of semen accumulation in the posterior fornix of the vagina, as well as the frequent occurrence of cervical hypertrophy and chronic cervicitis in patients with uterine prolapse.
2. Uterine prolapse can lead to excessive menstruation: the uterus tilts backwards, often causing the ovaries and fallopian tubes to droop downwards. The variation in the position of the ovarian fallopian tubes can cause distortion of the pelvic veins, poor blood flow, and pelvic venous congestion, leading to excessive menstruation and abdominal bloating, back pain, and some women may also experience symptoms such as 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 a posterior position of the uterus often experience dysmenorrhea due to spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles.
4. Uterine prolapse can lead to endometriosis: Uterine prolapse can cause endometriosis in women. As mentioned earlier, in those with posterior uterus, uterine contractions often need to be strengthened during menstruation to force menstrual blood to pass through the cervical canal and be expelled from the body. The strengthening of uterine contractions inevitably leads to an increase in 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 pelvic cavity, pelvic fascia, levator ani muscle and perineum 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. If giving birth, it is particularly difficult to give birth. Production lag. If the vaginal operation or the second production process is prolonged, the perineum is lacerated or stretched, the intramuscular membrane in the pelvis and the levator ani muscle are torn, the tissue at the bottom of the pelvis is weak, defective, the urogenital crack is enlarged, and the abdominal pressure is too high, pushing the large uterus that is not restored to the vagina, and the uterus is prolapsed. 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 the recovery of supporting tissues and is also a factor in prolapse.
