Uterine prolapse (fallen womb) happens when the connectives tissues of uterus slip to move down to vagina and the uterus appears coming out from the vagina. It can be caused by poor hormone secretions or by the use of inappropriate birth control methods, or chronic coughing from smoking etc.
Many women loose the elasticity of the uterus during child birth, by obesity or by ageing. The symptoms of uterine prolapse are pain in the vagina, pain during lovemaking, low back pain, and difficulty in urination or infections in urinary bladders.
There are mainly three types of uterine prolapse. The first type is the condition in which, the front vaginal wall falls below the bladder and it is called Cystocoele. In the second type of uterine prolapse, the vaginal wall falls in front of the bowel and it is called rectocoele, and the third condition is Proccidentia, in which, the cervix prolapses.
Uterine prolapse may include other complications such as constipation, infection in uterus, haemorrhoids. Surgery is generally done to tighten the uterus muscles in extreme cases. But some natural therapies and yoga can be done to strengthen the vaginal muscles.
