How can Prolapse of Uterus be treated ? |

Text 
Treatment of displaced womb must consist mainly of a suitable diet
and exercise. The diet should be so planned as should
aim at building up the internal musculature of the body. Of
course, any tendency towards tight lacing, constant stooping,
and heavy lifting must be avoided. To begin
with the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for about five
days. The bowel should be cleansed daily with a warm water
enema. After the
all-fruit diet , the patient should gradually embark upon a
well-balanced diet, based on three basic food groups, namely,
(i) seeds, nuts and grains (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits. A hot
Epsom salts bath is also beneficial in the treatment of
prolapse of the uterus and should be undertaken twice a week.
This bath is prepared by dissolving one or one and half kg. of
Epsom-salt in an ordinary bath of hot water. The patient
should remain immersed in the bath from ten to twenty minutes.
This bath should be taken just before retiring to bed and care
should be exercised not to get chilled afterwards. No soaps
should be used with the bath as it will interfere with its
beneficial effects. The alternate hot and cold hip bath are
also useful and should be undertaken at night on alternate
days.Exercise Exercises
to strengthen the pelvic musculature are extremely useful in
the treatment of prolapse of the uterus. Lying on a couch with
the legs raised higher than the rest of the body is very
helpful in relieving pain and discomfort from a displaced
womb. This should be done from half an hour to an hour two or
three times daily. The feet should be raised about eighteen
inches by placing cushions under them. When this is not
possible the patient can sit on a chair with a feet on another
chair. The more this can be done during the day, the better
will it be in every way. The patient should also perform other
exercises aimed at strengthening the abdominal muscles. These
exercises will help greatly in correcting the displacement of
the uterus. Women
should always take precautions to space out their children.
This will allow the genital tissues to regain their strength
and vitality and thereby prevent prolapse of the uterus. |
