10 Uterine Prolapse Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Constipation
Constipation can be medically defined as having less than 3 bowel movements per week while severe cases occur when there is less than 1 bowel movement per week. Constipation can cause lower abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, anal fissures, and hemorrhoids.
Constipation can be caused by various issues such as dehydration, low fiber intake, poor bowel habits, side effects of medications, laxative abuse, and hormonal disorders. In uterine prolapse patients, constipation occurs when the prolapse pulls the rectum downward, causing a bend or kink in the tube, resulting in constipation.
