Causes and Effects of a Prolapsed Uterus

Prolapsed Uterus Prevention

To reduce the risk of having a prolapsed uterus, you can:

– Avoid gaining weight: Extra body weight might put more pressure on the pelvic area and worsen your condition

– Control coughing: Avoid smoking and treat bronchitis or a chronic cough

– Avoid lifting heavy objects. If you have to lift, make sure to use legs rather than back or waist

– Prevent constipation: This can be done by eating a lot of high-fiber foods like whole-grain cereals, beans, veggies, and fruits. Also, make sure to drink enough water.

– Do exercises regularly, especially Kegel exercises, to strengthen pelvic floor muscles [10]
