For patients with uterine prolapse, taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan can promote the recovery of pelvic floor muscle tension and relieve local symptoms. Generally, if the symptoms are mild, the effect of taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan can be quite significant. However, it is better to use it in combination with other treatment methods for a more pronounced effect, such as pelvic floor physiotherapy or wearing a uterine support device. For patients with mild symptoms, the effects of taking the medicine can be very noticeable and may also require a shorter duration. However, for those with more severe symptoms, the effects might not be as significant, and prolonged use of the medicine may not greatly alleviate the symptoms.

Natural childbirth uterine prolapse manifestations

After vaginal childbirth, women may experience uterine prolapse due to being over-fatigued or engaging in physical labor too soon. Most women with mild symptoms show no clinical signs. As the symptoms worsen, some women may feel a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and this sensation intensifies when squatting or using the restroom, with a feeling of heaviness in the vulva. Some women may feel something protruding from the vagina, which can be retracted back into the vagina when lying flat; this is uterine prolapse after childbirth. Typically, this condition can be improved by performing anal contraction exercises.

Can you still have children with uterine prolapse?

Most women with uterine prolapse are not affected in their ability to become pregnant and give birth normally. However, in rare cases, symptoms can be severe when women suffer from uterine prolapse, with part of the uterus protruding outside the vagina. This may cause friction with the underwear, leading to localized ulcers or even infections, causing purulent vaginal discharge or bleeding. This can affect the normal passage of sperm and impact normal pregnancy. For these women, anti-inflammatory treatment can be administered first. After healing, it generally does not affect normal conception. After conception, as the size of the uterus increases and moves from the pelvic cavity into the abdominal cavity, the symptoms of uterine prolapse tend to decrease.

Can you get pregnant with uterine prolapse?

When women experience uterine prolapse, if it is only mild or moderate, it usually does not affect their ability to become pregnant normally. In most cases, when the woman lies down, the protruding part of the uterus might naturally retract, or it can be manually pushed back into the vagina. During intercourse, after ejaculation, the cervix may still be immersed in semen, allowing sperm to pass through the cervix smoothly, and the woman can become pregnant normally. However, in cases of severe uterine prolapse, such as when the entire uterus descends outside the vagina, and cannot be repositioned back into the vagina even when lying down, during intercourse, the ejaculated semen may not sufficiently immerse the cervix, and sperm may not be able to normally enter the cervix and uterine cavity. Additionally, many women with severe uterine prolapse might experience cervix erosion, bleeding, and infection due to friction, which can produce inflammatory cells that hinder the normal passage of sperm, leading to difficulties in conception.

How to treat uterine prolapse and urinary incontinence?

Uterine prolapse is mostly caused by childbirth injuries, long-term increase in abdominal pressure, or the degenerative changes and poor development of pelvic floor tissues. Mild uterine prolapse generally does not have noticeable symptoms. Severe uterine prolapse often accompanies anterior vaginal wall prolapse, which can lead to urinary retention and stress urinary incontinence, commonly referred to as leakage of urine. In cases of uterine prolapse with urine leakage, treatment requires enhanced nutrition, appropriate arrangement of rest and work, avoidance of heavy physical labor, and maintaining smooth bowel movements. Active treatment of chronic negative pressure increase diseases, such as constipation and chronic cough, is necessary. When uterine prolapse results in urine leakage, surgical treatment is generally required. Pelvic floor tissue repair is done, and in severe cases, hysterectomy is necessary along with the repair of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls for effective treatment.

The graded treatment for uterine prolapse is what?

According to the severity of female uterine prolapse, it can be categorized into first, second, and third degrees. For first and second degrees, non-surgical treatment methods can be used, such as the commonly practiced anal contraction exercises, which are a type of pelvic floor muscle training. The specific method involves contracting the anus for three seconds, then relaxing, and repeating this action 15 to 30 times per set. Depending on one's physical condition, two to three sets can be done each day. Generally, significant results can be seen after six to eight weeks of consistent practice. Additionally, some women who refuse surgery, such as older women, can also use a uterine pessary. Moreover, for mild or moderate uterine prolapse, treatments such as acupuncture and taking traditional Chinese medicine orally, such as Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang, can be used. For severe uterine prolapse, surgery is often necessary, but the specific choice depends on various factors such as the woman's age, reproductive needs, and quality of life requirements. For example, older women in their seventies or eighties who might have poor physical condition and possibly no sexual activity might consider undergoing a vaginal closure procedure.
