Complications:
If you don’t treat a uterine prolapse, it can impact other organs in the pelvic area of your body. A prolapsed uterus can interfere with your bowel and bladder. It can also negatively impact your sex life, causing you pain.
Prevention:
You may not be able to prevent all cases of uterine prolapse, but there are ways to cut back on your risk of developing a prolapse. A few lifestyle tips that can reduce your risk of prolapse include:
• Maintaining a healthy body weight.
• Exercising regularly. In addition, do Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Remember, check with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program.
• Eating a healthy diet. Talk to your healthcare provider or a nutritionist (a special type of healthcare provider who helps you form a meal plan) about the best diet for you.
• Stop smoking. This reduces the risk of developing a chronic cough, which can put extra strain on the pelvic muscles.
• Using proper lifting techniques.
