Uterine prolapse can cause a lot of anxiety and stress in the mind of a female. It occurs when the muscles supporting the position of the uterus get weak and are unable to provide the required support. The following 5 homeopathic medicines for uterine prolapse are very effective –

1. Calcarea Carb
2. Ustilago
3. Sepia
4. Murex
5. Lilium Tig

Before we come to the details of the symptoms suggesting the use of these homeopathic medicines, let us understand uterine prolapse a little better.

What is Uterine Prolapse?

When the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments that support the uterus stretch and weaken, they are unable to support the uterus. In such a case, the uterus hangs down into the vagina. This is known as uterine prolapse. It can be mild or severe depending upon the weakness in the pelvic floor muscles. In extreme cases, the uterine opening may slip down so much that it may even come out of the vaginal opening. It often occurs in post menopausal women. This is more likely to happen in women who had multiple vaginal deliveries.

Different stages of Uterine Prolapse

There are four different stages of uterine prolapse –

1. Stage 1- When the uterus slips down into the upper part of the vagina
2. Stage 2- Here the uterus slips as far down as into the lower part of the vagina
3. Stage 3- The uterus starts protruding from the vagina
4. Stage 4 – Whole of the uterus protrudes outside the vagina

What causes Uterine Prolapse?

As I have mentioned earlier, the weakness of the muscles of the pelvic floor results in uterine prolapse. The main reasons which cause weakness in these muscles are as under –

1. Multiple vaginal deliveries are more likely to result in weakness of the pelvic floor muscles.
2. Being older at the time of the first vaginal delivery also predisposes one to weakened pelvic muscles.
3. Obesity can be another cause of weak muscles.
4. A large or overweight baby can also lead to stretching or tearing of muscles.
5. Difficult delivery is another cause that can weaken the muscles.
6. Constipation and straining for stool may also lead to weak pelvic floor muscles.

Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse

The common symptoms of uterine prolapse are as follows-

1. Feeling of heaviness or a bearing down sensation in the pelvic region is a common symptom.
2. One may feel the presence of uterus in the upper part of the vagina.
3. Incontinence of urine is another common symptom present in cases of uterine prolapse.
4. Low back pain is common in patients having prolapse of uterus.
5. Constipation may also be present in some cases.
6. Pain may also occur during intercourse.

Prevention and management of Uterine Prolapse

Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is the most important aspect of prevention or management of uterine prolapse. Exercises that impart strength to the muscles are quite helpful in managing the situation. Pregnancy, post partum and post menopausal stages are common vulnerable times when the chances of uterine prolapse are more. Reducing one’s weight is also important as obesity is another risk factor.
