Prolapse

 

When the muscles located in the pelvic floor and ligaments become too weak or too stretched to support the uterus, uterine prolapse occurs. The uterus then enters or leaves the vagina as a result. Uterine prolapse most typically affects women undergoing multiple deliveries through the vagina following menopause. Minimal uterine prolapse generally requires no treatment. However, uncomfortable uterine prolapse or interference with daily living may benefit from treatment.

 

Introduction:

 

The connective tissues and muscles surrounding your uterus can weaken, which is known as uterine prolapse. This causes the lining of your uterus to bow down or sink into your vagina. It can occur to anyone given the gender “female” at birth (AFAB), but it tends to happen more frequently after menopause and in people who have had several vaginal deliveries. The muscles in your pelvic floor are the muscles, ligaments, and other structures that make up your pelvis. These muscles support your womb, rectum, vagina, bladder, and other pelvic organs. Your pelvic floor muscles become so weak or injured that they cannot help you, which leads to a prolapse. Your pelvic organs fall inside or outside of your vagina as a result.

The degree of uterine prolapse depends on how frail the uterus’ supporting muscles have become. It’s possible that your womb has entirely prolapsed, entering the inside of your vagina. Thus, a lump or bulge is produced. In more severe circumstances, your uterus may shift so much that it protrudes from your vagina. It’s referred to as a complete prolapse. To categorize uterine prolapse, your healthcare professional could employ a system. Uterine prolapse happens through three distinct phases:

• Stage I: Your female reproductive organ protrudes into your upper vagina.
• Stage II: Your uterus moves into the bottom region of the ovary.
• Stage III: The uterus is visible outside of the vagina.
• Stage IV: The entirety of your uterus protrudes from your vagina.

 

Causes and Symptoms:

 

When the lower abdominal floor’s muscles and tissue are compromised and unable to withstand the extra weight of the uterus, uterine prolapse results. As a result, it can fall into your vagina. Prolapse may arise from a variety of situations, such as

• Persistent gastroenteritis or constipation.
• Straining during bowel movements has a long history.
• Greater age
• A weakened anal sphincter
• Injury to the nerves.
• Infections in the pelvic or anal areas before the injury

 

After delivery, moderate uterine prolapse is typical. In most cases, it doesn’t produce symptoms. Uterine prolapse symptoms range from moderate to catastrophic and include:

• Observing or sensing tissue protruding from the vagina
• Experiencing a pulling or weight in the pelvis
• Having the impression that your bladder doesn’t empty when you use the restroom
• Urinary leakage issues, commonly known as incontinence
• Having trouble going to the toilet and having to use your fingers to squeeze the vagina to facilitate a bowel movement
• A sensation of being perched on a little ball
• Feeling like your vaginal tissue is pressing against your clothes
• Soreness or pressure in the low back or pelvis
• Concerns relating to sexuality, such as a loose feeling in the vaginal tissue

 

Homeopathic Treatment for Prolapse:

 

Homeopathic remedies can be used to treat uterine prolapse completely. The natural ingredients in the medications aid in giving the pelvic ligaments and muscles, which are loose and weak, strength. The uterus is placed at its appropriate location while the muscles and ligaments tighten, pull back, and build resilience. Homeopathic treatments for uterine prolapse can treat the condition in its early stages. Still, surgery is the only option for cases of uterine prolapse that have progressed to the point where the entire organ protrudes from the vagina. 

• The natural remedy, sepia, is quite effective at treating uterine prolapse. The most effective treatment for a prolapsed uterus is sepia. If you frequently feel as though your uterus is pulling lower and is about to come out of your body in the pelvic area, this medication may help. Crossing the lower limbs slightly lessens the feeling of being borne down. 
• Following Sepia, Lilium Tigrinum is the second-best medication for prolapsed uterus treatment. This therapy can benefit women who experience frequent urges to evacuate urine or stools due to uterine prolapse. Most frequently, a bloated pelvic feeling goes along with this. Women who need Lilium Tigrinum also experience pelvic dragging. The dragging sensation is only slightly alleviated by supporting the vulva or resting. 
• Murex is quite helpful when the uterus is big, bulky, and protruding out of the pelvis. Women who experience this bearing down sensation in the pelvis must tightly cross their legs to stop it. A displaced uterus can also cause period discomfort, which Murex helps to reduce. Lilium Tigrinum can be beneficial in cases of prolapsed uterus-related uterine inflammation.
• Lappa Arcticum is an uncommon, little-known drug that can be effective when used to cure uterine prolapse. In all circumstances, when the pelvic muscles, ligaments, and tissues lack tonicity and are more relaxed than usual, resulting in a misplaced or prolapsed womb, Lappa Arcticum may be employed. Lappa Arcticum is quite helpful in this situation since it gives the pelvic tissue tonicity. 
• Uterus prolapse or dislocation might end up causing bladder issues. Constipation or a continual urge to urinate are examples of intestinal symptoms. The predominant bladder symptom is the uncontrollable passing of urine. Nux Vomica is a very effective treatment for the continuous urge to use the toilet and pass. 
• The uterus may prolapse after vaginal delivery due to trauma and overstretching of the pelvic muscles that hold the womb in its proper place. Following vaginal delivery, these cases of uterine prolapse can be treated with the drugs Podophyllum, Sepia, Helonias, and Rhus Tox. A medication from among these is chosen only after conducting a thorough case study on the patient.
• When tumors like fibroid uteri are connected to uterine prolapse, a rare medication called Faxinus Americana may be used. The uterus has also grown in size. Pelvic pain from bearing down is constant.
