A prolapsed uterus indicates that your uterus has fallen out of position and is protruding from the cervix into which it was previously attached. A weakening of the pelvic muscles and connective tissue might lead to this condition.

With a modest prolapse, you may not have any symptoms at all. However, the uterus may push into the vagina while it is slipping. Occasionally, the uterus may protrude from the vaginal passage.

Some of the most common symptoms of a prolapsed uterus include:

• Heaviness or pressure in the vagina
• Frequent urination or difficulty in doing so
• Pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or lower back
• Vaginal discharge or blood

In some circumstances, pelvic floor exercises may alleviate symptoms and even reverse a minor condition, but in more severe cases, extra therapy may be necessary.

Recognize which workouts to avoid if you have a prolapsed uterus, as well as the proper manner to do them.

Other treatment options

It’s possible to alleviate symptoms or prevent them from worsening by following a few simple self-care procedures. These include:

• Don’t strain while you’re going to the bathroom. The use of a footstool to raise your legs or to tilt your torso forward might be beneficial.
• To prevent constipation, eat a diet rich in fiber and drink lots of water.
• Seek medical help for a persistent cough.
• Never attempt to lift anything that is very heavy.
• If you are overweight, you should reduce your caloric intake.
• Medical intervention isn’t usually necessary for uterine prolapse.
