How is uterine prolapse diagnosed?

Condition analysis:
Your doctor can diagnose uterine prolapse by evaluating your symptoms and performing a pelvic exam. During this exam, your doctor will insert a device called a speculum that allows them to see inside of the vagina and examine the vaginal canal and uterus. You may be lying down, or your doctor may ask you to stand during this exam.

Your doctor may ask you to bear down as if you’re having a bowel movement to determine the degree of prolapse.

Instructions:
1. Uterine Prolapse Exercise: This exercise should be done on empty stomach, preferably in the morning. Lie on your back on the floor and lift your legs alternately without bending your knees. After doing this for about a minute, lift and move both legs as if you are cycling. Do this for about a minute. While still lying, lift your waist, so that your body arches upwards while your head and heels still remain in contact with the floor. Push your abdomen in an out alternately in that arched position, as you continue to breathe deeply. Repeat this for few minutes.

2. Food high in Estrogen: Lack of estrogen is the prime cause of uterine displacement, especially in older women. Food rich in estrogen, compensate for this deficiency. This includes eggplant, alfalfa, flaxseeds, aniseed, baker’s yeast, pomegranates, parsley, barley, pepper, beets, split peas, cherries, black- eyed peas, cucumber, dates, eggs, fennel, licorice, oats, papaya, green peas, plums, red beans, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and yams.
