盆腔器官脱垂

概述

用于支撑女性盆腔器官的肌肉和韧带的力量减弱时，盆腔器官会在骨盆内下垂，在阴道内形成凸起（脱垂）。女性通常在产后多年后、子宫切除术后或绝经后发生盆腔器官脱垂。如果您有症状，例如盆腔区域有压迫感，请就医。

症状

Sometimes, pelvic organ prolapse has no symptoms. When symptoms happen, they might include:

• Seeing or feeling a bulge of tissue at or beyond the opening of the vagina.
• Pelvic pressure, heaviness or pain.
• Lower back pain.
• Not being able to keep in a tampon.
• Urinary changes. These might include urinating more, feeling an urgent need to urinate, not being able to empty the bladder all the way or having a weak urine stream.
• Bowel changes, such as not emptying stool all the way or having to put fingers in the vagina to support the bulge to be able to pass stool. This is called stenting.
• Sexual issues, such as pain with sex.

Weakness of the pelvic floor often affects more than one area. For instance, if one of your pelvic organs is prolapsed, you're more likely to have another type of pelvic organ prolapse.

病因

The cause of pelvic organ prolapse is the weakening of the tissues and the muscles that support the pelvic organs. The most common cause is having a baby vaginally.

风险因素

Risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse include:

• Having more than one baby, vaginal delivery, high birth weight babies and deliveries using tools.
• Being older.
• Being obese.
• Having had pelvic surgery.
• Straining from an ongoing cough, such as from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ongoing constipation or ongoing heavy lifting.
• Having a family history of pelvic organ prolapse or connective tissue conditions.
