What are the Risk Factors and Symptoms of a Prolapsed Uterus?

2. Common Symptoms

Women with advanced grade uterine prolapse may experience uncomfortable symptoms. If the cervix protrudes from the vagina, it continuously brushes against clothing, causing irritation and lesions that burst and bleed. Additionally, the mucus that normally reduces friction between the internal organs leaks and creates discharge. Some women report lower back pain or heavy pressure in the abdomen and that, when they sit down, it feels like they’re always sitting on a ball. Women experiencing a uterine prolapse may also endure increased urinary frequency or constipation.
