10 Uterine Prolapse Symptoms
Symptom #3: Difficulty Urinating
Some of the urinary issues that patients with uterine prolapse may experience include increased urinary frequency and urgency. Frequent urination occurs when the individual feels the need to pee despite having small amounts of urine. Urinary urgency refers to the need to urinate immediately and the inability to hold the pee until reaching the toilet. This is due to the involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle.
Some other issues include having a weak or prolonged urinary stream where the urine flow can slow down to the point where it dribbles. After urinating, some patients also feel that there is incomplete emptying. They may also experience the need to change positions to start or complete urination. Urinary issues in uterine prolapse patients happen as the prolapse pulls the ureter downward.
