Dr. B. S. Bhalla	Uterine Prolapse is a gynecological condition in which the uterus begins to descend or fall downward. This condition occurs when the uterus moves out of its natural position. There are several main factors that may lead to this condition, such as: Childbirth: A difficult delivery or repeated pregnancies can weaken the supportive structures of the uterus, leading to its prolapse. Pelvic Muscle Weakness: If the muscles in the abdominal and pelvic area become weak or damaged, uterine prolapse may occur. Age: With increasing age, women may experience weakening of muscles and ligaments, which can cause the uterus to prolapse. Obesity: Excess body weight or obesity can increase pressure on the pelvic floor, leading to displacement of the uterus. Symptoms of uterine prolapse may include a feeling of pressure or heaviness in the lower abdomen, protrusion of tissue from the vaginal opening, discomfort during urination or frequent infections, and in some cases, the uterus may become visible outside the vagina. For the treatment of uterine prolapse, it is advised that you visit our hospital and consult our doctor for proper medical evaluation and care. Taking advice from the internet alone can sometimes be risky. After uterine prolapse surgery, the recovery time depends on factors such as the patient's age, overall health, and the type of surgery performed. Here is some general information: Lifestyle and Rest: Ensure plenty of rest and take breaks regularly. Avoid lifting heavy weights or pushing/pulling objects. Practice gentle exercises such as Pilates or yoga, but always confirm with your medical specialist which exercises are appropriate for your condition. Follow your full recovery plan, including medications and post-operative care instructions if provided. Diet: Consume a nutritious diet rich in proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and sufficient water. Avoid fast food and fried items. Limit the intake of baked and processed foods. Postoperative Care: Take prescribed medications on time as per your doctor’s advice. Keep the surgical site clean and change dressings as instructed. Visit your doctor regularly for follow-ups so they can properly assess your healing process. Keep affected areas clean and dry, and use any special garments or bandages recommended by your doctor. Maintain hygiene during urination and bowel movements, especially in intimate areas. Seek regular specialist care as advised by your doctor.
