What is the treatment for a prolapsed uterus and bladder?
Best answer:
Most likely it will be surgery. My Mom had similar feelings after having 3 kids and she needed pelvic floor reconstruction.Standard answer is removal of the uterus and an attempt to reattach bladder and the remains of the vagina in their approximate previous locations.

Women who have had several children usually, as levels of female hormones drop at menopuase, find the womb begins to descend as the supporting ligaments stretch.

As it pushes down, the womb descends through the vagina eventually turning the vagina inside out as the cervix pushes right outside the body. It's a bit like turning the finger of a glove the wrong way out. So what you end up with, if nothing's done, is the entire vagina sticking out of the body with the uterus inside it and the cervix obvious at the outer end. Or I suppose you could say that what was a "hole for a pole" becomes a pole. If it's just the uterus that descends, the result can look remarkably like an uncircumcised penis -- a tad shorter than the average male item, but a little thicker. A tad alarming at first, too, when you see it, but if it's only the uterus that has descended, it's not a medical problem in and of itself and that's the way that our great great grandmothers must have spent decades of their lives. Nowadays it's usually operated on long before it reaches that stage -- before the cervix even protrudes outside the body.

If either the bladder or the rectum is pulled down along with the uterus it's a more serious matter and then it does become a medically-urgent matter as it may be difficult or impossible to urinate or defecate.

Definitely not a matter for panic, but you should be aware that it's only if they get it at the very earliest stages, long before it's poking outside the body, that there's much chance of doing an operation to re-suspend the uterus.

Where there's a marked prolapse it's usually possible to do the hysterectomy vaginally.

Prolapsed uterus?
Best answer:
i think my doctor said it was 3rd degree, I had a complete hysterectomy done about 2 years ago. My mom used this cup thing as her Mom went through the operation and she didn't want to, of course, the women in my family never told anyone anything. I didn't find about my Grandma's hysterectomy until after I had my own. It might be genetic.
If your past child bearing age go ahead and do it I found no problems with a vaginal hysterectomy your in the hospital about 3 days and about 6 weeks recovery time.A friend had a prolapsed rectum, and just shoved it back in......
