Prognosis
The therapy of a uterine prolapse merely involves fighting the symptoms. The cause, namely a weakness of the pelvic floor, usually remains untreated. This means that a new organ prolapse cannot be excluded.
However, with pelvic floor training there is a possibility to reduce the probability of a further prolapse. As a prophylaxis, it is also recommended to avoid excessive physical strain in order to keep the pressure in the abdominal cavity as low as possible. Weight reduction in overweight patients is also an important measure in preventing a uterine prolapse.
