Prolapsed Uterus
SYMPTOMS may include vaginal pain and discharge, lower abdominal cramps,
painful intercourse and frequent urgent urination.
CAUSES are the uterus protruding through the vaginal orifice. This is from
the stretching and weakness of the ligaments and muscles that hold the
uterus in place. Weakness and stretching may be caused by excessive coughing
heavy lifting, congential weakness, age or numerous pregnancies.
TREATMENT. A pessary inserted in vagina. Surgery may be required.
