Uterine or pelvic prolapse occurs when the uterus or other pelvic organs descend from their normal position, often due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. Risk factors include childbirth, aging, obesity, and repetitive heavy lifting. Symptoms may include pelvic pressure, discomfort, urinary incontinence, and difficulty with bowel movements. Diagnosis involves pelvic examination and sometimes imaging tests. Treatment options depend on the severity of prolapse and may include pelvic floor exercises, pessary insertion, hormone therapy, or surgery to repair or support the pelvic organs. Prevention strategies include maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding heavy lifting, and practicing pelvic floor exercises.
