Is uterine prolapse a disease, and how is it treated?
Uterine prolapse is generally a medical condition that can be improved through exercise therapy, pessary therapy, or surgical treatment.
1. Exercise Therapy
In daily life, appropriate physical activities such as practicing yoga or walking can help strengthen the body. Paying attention to proper techniques and intensity during exercise may alleviate symptoms of uterine prolapse.
2. Pessary Therapy
During treatment, a pessary—a supportive device—can be used externally to relieve symptoms. However, hygiene must be maintained when using a pessary; it should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacterial infections. Consistent daily use yields better results.
3. Surgical Treatment
When uterine prolapse is severe, surgery to remove the uterus may be recommended by a physician, which can completely eliminate associated symptoms.
In addition, maintaining regular bowel movements, balancing work and rest, and avoiding prolonged heavy physical labor involving bending over are also important in daily life. Furthermore, maintaining a positive mood and avoiding stress or anxiety is essential to prevent worsening of the condition.
