UTERINE PROLAPSE

Homoeopathic Management of Uterine Prolapse

Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus descends from its normal position into or outside the vaginal canal due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. It is often associated with symptoms like pelvic heaviness, dragging pain, urinary difficulties, and sometimes vaginal bulge. Homeopathy provides effective management by addressing the underlying causes and improving the tone of pelvic tissues.
