How is a uterine prolapse diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms
and other health maladies. Tell your doctor about pregnancies or previous operations
you had. Your provider will have to know if your symptoms are instigating
problems with your everyday activities or with sex. A pelvic examination is
used to help find how far your uterus has prolapsed. Your doctor might also ask
you to tauten up the muscles of your pelvis as if you are trying to stop
urinating. This aids to find how sturdy your pelvic muscles are. Your doctor
might also check the position of your uterus when you are standing.
For treating this issue, you can always
resort to non-surgical
treatment of uterus prolapse as it is very much safe and effective.
