Prolapso uterino

Nombres alternativos:

Hernia del piso pélvico; Relajación pélvica

Prevención:

Los ejercicios de Kegel prenatales y de posparto (contracción de los músculos del piso pélvico como si se tratara de interrumpir la micción) ayudan a fortalecer los músculos y reducir el riesgo.

La repercusión de la episiotomía y otras intervenciones obstétricas en el desarrollo posterior del prolapso uterino no es clara. La terapia de reemplazo de estrógenos en mujeres posmenupáusicas tiende a ayudar a mantener el tono muscular.
