Uterine Prolapse: Diagnosis and Treatment
Uterine prolapse is a weakening of the pelvic floor muscles that causes the uterus to slide downward from its normal position. This can cause physical and functional discomfort that affects women’s quality of life.
How is it done?
At Metropol Health Group, uterine prolapse is evaluated in detail by our expert teams. The diagnosis is made by physical examination and advanced imaging methods when necessary. The treatment plan is personalized taking into account the patient’s age, general health status, severity of prolapse and desire to have children. Surgical procedures are performed with vaginal or laparoscopic techniques with precision.
What are the Symptoms?
Common symptoms of uterine prolapse are:
- Sensation of a mass or fullness in the vagina
- Lower abdominal or lower back pain
- Urinary incontinence, forced urination or inability to urinate
