Uterine Prolapse
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Uterine prolapse occurs when the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor weaken and no longer support the uterus properly, which then descends into the vaginal canal.
Common symptoms: A feeling of heaviness or a lump in the pelvic area, vaginal pressure, discomfort when standing for a long time and, at times, urinary difficulties.
Common causes: It is usually related to previous childbirths, hormonal changes and the natural weakening of tissues over time.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates the pelvic floor and guides each case. If you notice pressure or a bulge in the vaginal area, discussing it with this specialist helps clarify what is happening and get appropriate guidance.
