About the Symptom
The uterus is normally held up high in the pelvis by supportive tissue. If the uterus loses this support, it can be felt lower in the vagina and in some cases even be seen and felt outside of the vagina. Patients may feel a bulge or discomfort with walking or with using the bathroom.
When to see a doctor
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
Urinary frequency
Possible Causes
Generally, Uterus falling out can be related to:
Uterine prolapse is when the uterus (womb) falls down the vagina or protrudes outside the body. This occurs as the supporting muscles and tissues become weakened and less elastic and are unable to maintain the uterus in its normal position. This condition is more common after multiple childbirths or with increasing age. Depending on the degree of prolapse, this can cause pelvic pain, problems with urination and with bowel movements.
A cervical polyp is a growth on the cervix (outlet of the womb). Most often they are benign (not cancer) and do not cause problems. Occasionally they can cause vaginal discharge, abnormal bleeding with menstruation or bleeding after sex (post-coital bleeding). Rarely can they be cancerous, and this risk goes up with age. They are typically diagnosed during a pelvic examination or with an ultrasound of your uterus.
Pollakiuria is frequent daytime urination (up to 40 times a day) in children. It's most common in children 3 to 5 years old, but teenagers can develop it too. The exact cause is unknown but could be due to stress and other psychogenic triggers like moving, being bullied, or parents divorcing.
