Lifestyle changes may be all that’s required.

Uterine prolapse treatment

If the symptoms are severe enough, there are a number of treatment options available, depending on the type of prolapse, and your individual circumstances.

Lifestyle changes
Losing weight, stopping smoking, avoiding heavy lifting and high impact physical activity will all help. If you’re constipated, getting the right treatment for that will help too, and exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles also tend to alleviate the symptoms.

Vaginal hormone treatment | Estrogen
If you only have mild symptoms, and you’ve already gone through menopause, vaginal tablets or cream may be an option.

Pessary
A plastic or silicone device that fits into the vagina, helping support the pelvic organs and uterus. There are a variety of types available, and we can advise on the right option for you. If you plan on having children at some point in the future, a pessary may be the way to go.

Surgery
This will alleviate the symptoms while ensuring your bladder and bowels function normally afterwards. As with any surgery, there is an element of risk, so we’d only recommend this if your symptoms are severe, and other treatment options have not worked.
