Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse

Common Symptoms

Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus slips from its usual position and falls into the vagina. It is more common in individuals who have had multiple vaginal births, those with obesity, or those who have gone through menopause.

The symptoms of uterine prolapse can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include:

• Pelvic heaviness or pulling sensation
• Vaginal bleeding or an increase in vaginal discharge
• Difficulties with sexual intercourse
• Urinary leakage
• Bladder infections
• Bowel movement difficulties, such as constipation
• Lower back pain
• Sensations of sitting on a ball or that something is falling out of the vagina
• Weak vaginal tissue

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor and get treatment right away. Without proper attention, uterine prolapse can impair your bowel, bladder, and sexual function.
