Uterine prolapse
Uterine prolapse refers to a uterine prolapse, pushing through the uterus through the birth canal through, in part, to the exit within the now everted vagina ( vaginal prolapse ) outside the body. This is due to a failure of the holding belts.
The uterine prolapse is the extreme form of a uterine prolapse ( uterine prolapse ). As prevention against a uterine prolapse pelvic floor exercises is recommended.
The treatment consists today mostly of a vaginal hysterectomy combined with a Scheidenraffung ( colporrhaphy ) and / or fixation of the cervix or vagina to the sacrum. Previously often came complete or partial failed denver closing operations are used, which are left largely today.
Also an inversion of the uterus, a dangerous complication during labor is associated with a prolapse of the uterus. A common cause is too strong a train at the umbilical cord when not contracted uterine fundus or increased pressure in conjunction with the abdominal muscles. Treatment consists of prompt repositioning of the uterus.
