Uterine prolapse is mostly caused by pelvic floor damage or pelvic floor dysfunction. It can be divided into mild, moderate and severe according to the degree. Going to the hospital for a gynecological examination will tell you the degree of uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse has a great impact on women's body, so it is necessary to check and see a doctor as soon as possible. So how to check for uterine prolapse?

Observe whether there is a sense of falling in the lower part of the body, whether there are symptoms of heaviness, and whether there is a sense of pressure in the pelvic cavity. Severe patients may feel that something has protruded from the lower body, similar to menstruation. At this time, patients with uterine prolapse must be careful and pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, which can reduce the possibility of viral and bacterial infection.

If you feel pain, check your lower abdomen for pain. If you feel pain during intercourse, lower back pain, etc., because the tightness of the uterine sagging ligament becomes weaker, the uterus prolapses outside, and the friction causes pain in the lower abdomen of women. If the patient is serious, he will be restless and have difficulty walking. When the pain is severe, you must go to the hospital for examination immediately, and you cannot take painkillers without authorization.

Difficulty in urination. Due to the anatomical structure of the uterus, the front is close to the bladder and the back is close to the rectum. Therefore, uterine prolapse may cause symptoms of difficulty in defecation and urination, such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, etc. Therefore, patients with difficulty in urination are advised to change their underwear every day, and then pay attention to daily cleaning and disinfection. If the patient's condition is serious, you can also use a panty liner.

It is inconvenient to walk. If the uterus prolapses severely, the patient will have difficulty walking. The uterus falling outside will also make women feel very inferior. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients with uterus falling outside the body to go out frequently, and they should try to stay in bed and rest.

For urethral examination, the patient takes the lithotomy position. If the patient coughs, it is necessary to observe whether there is urine overflow. If there is urine overflow, it is stress urinary incontinence.

Vaginal and rectal digital examination: if the cervix is ​​not exposed, vaginal digital examination is required to measure the approximate distance from the cervical opening to the vaginal opening. We need to know how wide the distance between the levator ani muscles is. Rectal examination is performed to see the degree of rectal dilation and the tension of the anal sphincter. It is also possible to observe whether there are ulcers on the cervix and vaginal wall, and whether there are uterine and rectal hernias under the colposcope.
