Uterine Prolapse

Acute

What is Uterine prolapse?

Uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments stretch and weaken until they no longer provide enough support for the uterus. As a result, the uterus slips down into or protrudes out of the vagina.

Uterine prolapse most often affects people after menopause who've had one or more vaginal deliveries.

  • Constipation.
  • Leakage of urine.
  • Lower-back pain.
  • Bulging in your vagina.
  • Inability to completely empty your bladder.
  • Feeling of heaviness or fullness in your pelvis.
  • Aching, or the feeling of pressure, in your lower abdomen or pelvis.

The weakening of these ligaments allows for the prolapse of the uterus into the vaginal vault. Although uterine prolapse is not inherently life-threatening, it can lead to sexual dysfunction, poor body image, and lower quality of life due to associated bowel or bladder incontinence.

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

Hysterectomy and prolapse repair: Uterine prolapse may be treated by removing your uterus in a surgical procedure called a hysterectomy. This may be done through a cut (incision) made in your vagina (vaginal hysterectomy) or through your abdomen (abdominal hysterectomy)
