Uterine prolapse is a disorder, which occurs when pelvic muscles weaken and thus, fail to support the uterus, causing the uterus to slip into or protrude from the vagina. Postmenopausal women with a history of multiple vaginal deliveries are the most vulnerable to this disorder. The pelvic muscles weaken due to the following reasons:

Dip in the levels of estrogen
Excessive strain
Tissue damage resulting from childbirth and pregnancy
Common symptoms include a pulling sensatio...more

The uterus is a muscular organ which houses the fertilized egg and gives it space to grow through pregnancy. It is held in place by various ligaments and tissues, as it is suspended in the pelvic area. Uterine prolapse is when the uterus slips down and is not able to stay in place. It can slip into the vaginal cavity, and may sometimes be protruding through the vagina.

Causes:

The female hormone estrogen plays a vital role in keeping this in place. With age, as the hormone le...more

The uterus or womb is a strong structure that is held up by the pelvic muscles and tendons. In case that these muscles or tendons extend or get distinctly powerless, they are no longer ready to support the uterus, bringing about prolapse. Uterine prolapse happens when the uterus hangs or slips from its ordinary position, into the vagina or birth channel.

Uterine prolapse might be fragmented or complex. A deficient prolapse happens when the uterus is just halfway drooping into the vagina...more

The condition of uterine prolapse takes place when the floor muscles (and sometimes, ligaments) of the pelvis region gets stretched overly and then gradually weakens, thus becoming unable to provide adequate support to the uterus. This often leads to the protrusion or the slipping down of the uterus out of the vaginal opening. Though it can affect women of any age, it usually happens to women after menopause, especially those who have already had deliveries out of the vagina.

Uterine prolapse is a condition which occurs due to a weakness in the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor which are responsible for supporting the uterus. This condition results in the bulging out of the uterus from the vagina. The continuous stretching in the muscles of the pelvic floor due to the lifting of heavy things might initiate uterine prolapse. If you suffer from severe uterine prolapse, the doctors might suggest laparoscopic surgery to get rid of the pain. Lack of diagnosis migh...more
