The primary symptoms of uterine prolapse include the following: 1. **Dull aching pain in the lumbosacral region**: This is a common symptom among patients with uterine prolapse, particularly exacerbated after physical exertion. 2. **A bulging, spherical mass protruding into the vagina**: This symptom is typically more noticeable during walking or physical labor; the protrusion often spontaneously reduces when the patient is lying down and resting. 3. **Urinary tract symptoms**: Sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure—such as during laughter, vigorous coughing, or straining—can trigger stress urinary incontinence, resulting in involuntary urine leakage. 4. **Menstrual disturbances**: Uterine prolapse may impair pelvic circulation, leading to local pelvic venous congestion, which in turn disrupts normal menstrual function.
