Uterine Prolapse

Uterine prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues in the pelvis weaken, allowing the uterus to drop into the vagina. Common causes include childbirth, pregnancy, hormonal changes after menopause, obesity, and chronic coughing or straining. Signs may include leakage of urine, inability to empty the bladder fully, and feeling of heaviness in the pelvis. Management includes physical examination, cystoscopy, and MRI to examine the bladder, urethra, and uterus. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and correcting the prolapse through exercises and potentially surgery.
