Uterine prolapse is a situation that we should pay attention to. It can occur in our daily life, and we must clarify the factors of the disease and actively take reasonable prevention measures.
Causes of uterine prolapse
1. Long term increase in abdominal pressure: Chronic cough, habitual constipation, long-term workload, improper exercise, and abdominal tumors can cause an increase in abdominal pressure and promote uterine decline.
2. Pregnancy: This is the most common cause of uterine prolapse. Generally speaking, women born multiple times have a high probability of uterine prolapse. However, even during the first pregnancy, uterine prolapse may occur. Because late pregnancy and childbirth injuries such as giant babies and dystocia may 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. Pelvic floor tissue dysplasia: Some women have congenital uterine or pelvic floor muscle dysplasia, and congenital pelvic muscle weakness and 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 load activity: Women often engage in physical activity or long-term overload exercise, especially weightlifting training, load activities, etc., which increases abdominal pressure and significantly increases the likelihood of uterine or visceral prolapse.
8. Premature childbirth: Premature marriage and childbirth or excessive childbirth are the most important reasons for this disease, which is the relaxation of pelvic muscle tissue. 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
10. Aging: Age and organ aging, as well as a decrease in the female hormone estrogen, cause the pelvic floor muscle group (P.F.M) Losing tension, the uterine ligaments gradually degenerate and atrophy.
