Hysterectomy – Purpose, Procedure, Risk & Recovery

Uterine Prolapse

Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus slips from the normal position to the vagina. This is a very common health issue in women with multiple vaginal births. Also, people with obesity or menopause can be at a higher risk. Some common symptoms include bowel issues, urinary problems, or pelvic pressure. Mild cases can be treated with some minimally invasive procedures. But when they do not work, a hysterectomy will be used. [3]
