Prolapsed Uterus
(continued)
Prevention
- Reduce your weight.
- Avoid constipation by eating a high-fiber diet.
- Do Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic muscles.
- Avoid heavy lifting or straining.
Outlook
Pessaries can be effective temporarily or permanently if they are checked and cleaned as often as necessary. Surgery can support a prolapsed uterus or remove it.
