Prolapse Tips

Your uterus is held in place by ligaments, tissues and pelvic muscles. The prolapse occurs when the ligaments or muscles weaken, and thus they can no longer support the uterus. The uterus slips or sags from its usual position into the birth canal (vagina).

Uterine prolapse could be complete or incomplete:

If the uterus partly sags into the vagina, the prolapse is incomplete.
If the uterus falls, and tissues are found to be resting in the vagina's exterior, the prolapse is t...more

A herniated disc also known as a slip disc or prolapsed disc refers to the problem where one of the discs located in between the bones of the vertebrae(backbone) gets damaged and stacks itself upon the nerves. The tender inner portion of the disc gets protruded over the outer ring. Herniated disc causes severe neck pain and back pain. It occurs when the outer ring gets weak and tears down. The most common symptoms include pain and numbness, especially on one side of the body. The pain extends do...more

Vaginal Vault Prolapse is the condition where the upper portion of vagina may lose its normal shape and drop or sag down into the vaginal canal or maybe even outside the vagina. This may occur after a hysterectomy or even simultaneously with uterine prolapse.

The treatment of vaginal vault prolapse varies with the severity and extremity of your symptoms. Your health care provider may suggest medications and physical therapy to treat your condition if you feel that the prolapse is not b...more

Introduction The intervertebral discs are made-up of two concentric layers, the inner gel-like Nucleus Pulposus and the outer fibrous Annulus fibrosus. As a result of advancing age, the nucleus loses fluid, volume and resiliency and the entire disc structure becomes more susceptible to trauma and compression. This condition is called as degeneration of the disc. The disc then is highly vulnerable to tears and as these occur, the inner nucleus pulposus protrudes through the fibrous layer, produci...more

A set of cartilage discs present between the vertebrae, ensures that the spinal column can withstand the weight of the upper body. If these discs tear or get injured, the condition is commonly known as slipped disc. In medical terms the same condition is known as prolapsed intervertebral disc. Here is a look at the causes, symptoms and treatment for this painful condition.

Causes for Prolapsed Disc
Intervertebral cartilage discs undergo normal wear and tear with age. However, there ...more

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
