How is uterine prolapse treated?

Condition analysis:
Treatment isn’t always necessary for this condition. If prolapse is severe, talk with your doctor about which treatment option is appropriate for you.

Nonsurgical treatments include:
-- losing weight to take stress off of pelvic structures
-- avoiding heavy lifting
-- doing Kegel exercises, which are pelvic floor exercises that help strengthen the vaginal muscles
-- taking estrogen replacement therapy
-- wearing a pessary, which is a device inserted into the vagina that fits under the cervix and helps push up and stabilize the uterus and cervix

Surgical treatments include uterine suspension or hysterectomy. During uterine suspension, your surgeon places the uterus back into its original position by reattaching pelvic ligaments or using surgical materials. During a hysterectomy, your surgeon removes the uterus from the body through the abdomen or the vagina.

Surgery is often effective, but it’s not recommended for women who plan on having children in the future. Pregnancy and childbirth can put an immense strain on pelvic muscles, which can undo surgical repairs of the uterus.

Instructions:
Hip/ Sitz Bath: Hip/ Sitz bath is beneficial in treatment and cure of displaced uterus. For this, the water level in the tub should be up to the navel. Rub your abdomen and other parts immersed in water, vigorously. After coming out of the tub, rub the wet pelvic area with a rough towel.

Massage of abdomen with Olive oil: Olive oil has many benefits in treatment of uterine prolapse. For one, it is rich in estrogen and compensates for the loss of estrogen, which is a major cause of displacement of uterus. External application of olive oil, is known to improve blood circulation and thus helps in revitalizing the pelvic tissues.
