What to do if you have miscarriage or uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse refers to the uterus descending from its normal position along the vagina, with the cervical outlet lower than the level of the ischial spine, or even the uterus completely detaching from the vaginal outlet, often merging with the anterior and/or posterior vaginal walls. The anterior and posterior walls of the vagina are adjacent to the bladder and rectum, so uterine prolapse may also be accompanied by swelling of the bladder, urethra, and rectum.

Childbirth injury is the main cause of uterine prolapse. Childbirth, especially difficult labor, prolonged second stage of labor or vaginal operative delivery, can easily cause damage to the cervix, cardinal cervical ligaments, sacral ligaments and pelvic floor muscles. If the supporting tissue cannot return to normal after delivery, uterine prolapse is likely to occur. Chronic constipation and cough, ascites or abdominal obesity can increase abdominal pressure and promote uterine prolapse. Severe lack of nutrition can lead to muscle atrophy and relaxation of pelvic fascia, which will lose its support for the uterus. Uterine prolapse is caused by malnutrition and is often accompanied by symptoms such as gastroptosis and abdominal wall relaxation. Ovarian dysfunction leads to a decrease in estrogen secretion, which weakens and relaxes the pelvic floor support tissue, making uterine prolapse more likely to occur or aggravate the original degree of prolapse.
