Symptoms of uterine prolapse in women fall into the following categories: First, in mild cases, there may be no discomfort at all. Second, moderate prolapse may cause a sensation of heaviness or dull pain in the lower abdomen, low back pain, and an inability to stand for prolonged periods. Third, in severe cases, vaginal tissue or organs may visibly protrude from the vaginal opening. It is recommended to seek prompt medical evaluation at a hospital; surgical intervention may be necessary depending on the severity.
