What is Uterine Prolapse?

Uterine prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor experiences increased pressure, leading to weakening of the muscles and tissues that support the uterus. As a result, the uterus can shift from its usual position and protrude into the vagina or birth canal.

Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse

> Noticing or feeling tissue protruding from the vagina.

> Sensation of heaviness or pulling in the pelvic area.

> Feeling like the bladder does not fully empty after using the bathroom.

> Experiencing urine leakage (incontinence) problems.

> Difficulty having a bowel movement.

> Experiencing pressure or discomfort in the pelvis or lower back.

Treatment for Uterine Prolapse

> Pelvic Floor Repair

In cases where the urethra, bladder, rectum, or intestines protrude through the vaginal wall, the pelvic floor will be surgically repaired and reinforced using sutures. This procedure aims to correct the prolapse and reposition the organs to their original location.

> Sacrospinous Ligament Fixation

Where there is significant uterine prolapse, this procedure is performed to attach the vaginal vault to the sacrospinous ligament, reducing the likelihood of prolapse recurring.
