Incomplete uterovaginal prolapse - what does this mean

Incomplete uterovaginal prolapse occurs when the uterus, cervix, and/or the upper part of the vagina slides from its normal position and protrudes into the vaginal canal. this is caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles, which can be the result of childbirth, menopause, chronic coughing, and/or heavy lifting.

What happens during the disease - incomplete uterovaginal prolapse

Incomplete uterovaginal prolapse is a condition in which the uterus, cervix, and/or vaginal walls protrude through the vaginal opening due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. this can be caused by childbirth, menopause, obesity, chronic straining, or other conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure. this increased pressure leads to the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, resulting in the uterus, cervix, and/or vaginal walls descending into the vaginal canal.
