8Prolapsed Uterus Prevention
To reduce the risk of having a prolapsed uterus, you can:
– Avoid gaining weight: Extra body weight might put more pressure on the pelvic area and worsen your condition
– Control coughing: Avoid smoking and treat bronchitis or a chronic cough
– Avoid lifting heavy objects. If you have to lift, make sure to use legs rather than back or waist
– Prevent constipation: This can be done by eating a lot of high-fiber foods like whole-grain cereals, beans, veggies, and fruits. Also, make sure to drink enough water.
– Do exercises regularly, especially Kegel exercises, to strengthen pelvic floor muscles [10]
