Causes and Effects of a Prolapsed Uterus

Surgery

In serious cases, surgery may be recommended to repair a prolapsed uterus. There are two main options: vaginal surgery and minimally invasive. The procedure might involve:

– Hysterectomy or removal of the uterus: This procedure can be done for a prolapsed uterine in some cases. It is generally a very safe option, but there are some possible risks of complications.

– Repair of weak pelvic floor tissues: The procedure can be approached through the vagina or abdomen. The doctor could need to graft donor tissue, your tissue, or a synthetic option on the weakened area to provide support for pelvic organs.

Make sure to consult your doctor about the benefits and risks of each procedure before deciding. [8]
