Abstract

Uterine prolapse is the descent of the uterus to vaginal cavity due to weakened supporting structures of the uterus. There are multiple factors that increase the risk of uterine prolapse occurrence, some of them are obstetric history (e.g. parity, vaginal delivery, high birth weight), menopause, chronic illness, obesity, congenital illness, and genetic. Reducing or eliminating risks is highly recommended to reduce the occurrence of uterine prolapse, such as modifying lifestyle and medicate any sign of illness. Pessaries and local estrogen therapy could be an option to treat uterine prolapse on mild degree. However, on higher degree of uterine prolapse, surgery intervention might be needed. This review article aims to evaluate and explore the risk factors, treatments, and prevention strategies based on prior study.
