What Can I Do About Prolapsed Uterus?
Do you know where the uterus is located? How the position of the uterus, can have an impact on women’s health and fertility?
The way in which the uterus is located is essential for women health. This is how the healers, neuropathy and functional medicine doctors see it. Our western medicine and culture do not pay much attention to women’s uterus and how it can influence a woman’s life. Meanwhile, if its position is wrong, it can be the cause of painful menses, problems with urination and fertility. Healers and shamans in South America believe that nearly all feminine diseases and problems with the pregnancy result from the wrong position of the uterus.
The uterus is located in the middle of the pelvic cavity in the frontal plane. The uterus moves and moves posteriorly under the pressure of a full bladder, or anteriorly under the pressure of a full rectum. When they both are full, it moves upwards. Increased intraabdominal pressure pushes it downwards. Musculo-fibrous apparatus that consists of the suspensory and sustentacular part confers the mobility to it.
The adequately situated uterus is held in place with muscles and ligaments. They are designed to be easily stretched during the pregnancy, or when our bladder is full just before we want to use the restroom. Sometimes it happens that these muscles and ligaments weaken and they cannot hold the uterus in place. When the ligaments and muscles are weak, they cause movement, twist, and shift of uterus. If that happens, the uterus can be susceptible to the injuries. All this type of event they can contribute to wrong placement of uterus. The unstandardized position of the uterus can also result from anatomy. You could have been born with it and have such construction of the body, or it can be the result of a complicated childbirth. It can also be a result of years of wrong habits- like the way we sit, walk or stand.
If the location of the uterus is not corrected, it can influence the circulation system and the nervous system. Bending or inflection of uterus can cause the blockage of blood flow, clogging the lymph and energy Qi. Uterus and its nearby organs can have blocked the natural flow of energy and blood, and such state can cause complication.
