Prolpse got worse

Body: 

Hi i would like to enquire if anyone has had uterine prolapse for many years,that suddenly seems to have got worse. I have had my prolapse for 18 years after a straight forward delivery with my first child.about 12 months ago my whomb felt like it had either slipped down more, or got more swollen. Somedays it feels like the whole womb is out. I have always read that the womb shrinks after menapause, i am 58 and have not had a period for 4 years. So i would have thought it should be shrinking by now. I have also read the womb can ballon or swell when out of the body.would be grateful of any advice

Hi trumper,

I don't think there are very many actual studies done on shrinking uteruses and whose wil or won't shrink, or how much we can really do other than really work on posture and a good diet to keep the pressure of our bowels off our uteruses. Christine and Louise give some very good ideas and retrospective on this issue. You can of course search for more threads on this subject in the search box.
