A uterine prolapse is that condition where the uterus detaches and comes out through the vagina. This can be an extremely difficult and serious condition and can occur for a variety of reasons. During an extremely stressful labor, it has been found that the muscles that are holding the uterus together in its place tend to become weak and can remain this way for a while chronically. This is not always deduced right after childbirth, as most women tend to be fairly young at the time of giving birth. However, as time progresses, this weakness can lead to the uterus collapsing completely because of the weakened muscles and can thus get into the vaginal canal. In the end, the uterus can at times completely come off through the vagina.
