Incomplete Uterovaginal Prolapse: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Uterovaginal prolapse is a condition that occurs when the uterus and vaginal walls descend from their normal position and bulge into the vaginal canal. Incomplete uterovaginal prolapse is a type of uterovaginal prolapse where only a portion of the vaginal wall protrudes into the vaginal canal.

Here are the symptoms of incomplete uterovaginal prolapse:

  1. Vaginal bulge or lump that protrudes from the vagina
  2. Feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area
  3. Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse
  4. Difficulty in urination or bowel movements

The causes of incomplete uterovaginal prolapse can be attributed to several factors:

  1. Childbirth: The stretching and weakening of pelvic muscles and tissues during childbirth can lead to uterovaginal prolapse.
  2. Chronic coughing or constipation: Chronic conditions that cause strain on the pelvic muscles can also contribute to uterovaginal prolapse.
  3. Aging: As women age, the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs may weaken, leading to uterovaginal prolapse.

There are several treatment options for incomplete uterovaginal prolapse:

  1. Pelvic floor exercises: Strengthening the pelvic muscles through exercises such as Kegels can help improve symptoms of uterovaginal prolapse.
  2. Pessary: A device inserted into the vagina to support the prolapsed organs.
  3. Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the prolapse.

It's important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of uterovaginal prolapse. Your doctor can help determine the best course of treatment for you.
