Dropped uterus?

Question:

I was just wondering if anyone here has a prolasped uterus or knows somebody who does. I am asking for my mom. She says her uterus is dropping out and when she sits down her cervix actually comes out to the point where it can be seen big time. She went to have a papsmear done at the clinic and told the DR and the dr said everything looked ok to her yet it is not normal. Mom was thinking it was called prolapsed uterus or something like that. Can anyone give me information about uterus dropping out like that?

Answers:
My grandmother had that, and I do not think she ever did anything about it..It makes me cringe. I really think your mother needs a different doc. Might I ask what part of Ohio you are in. because i know of a few good doc's in Ohio. But it depends on what part. Feel free to email me for some Dr. names and places.

She a different doctor.

My mom had the same thing happen to her. She got a hysterectomy and now everything is great and she is more comfortable with herself now.

Usually it happens to women over 50...if the Dr actually did a pap smear he/she should have seen it...and it can be fixed. Either have a hystrectomy or have your uterus stitched back in place. (if you're done using it...and usually 50 yr olds are...have it taken out). If I were your Mom. I'd be looking for a new Dr. (and yes it IS a prolapsed uterus.)

it ia a prolapsed uterus, it can be caused by having children, by excessive weight, and a few other factors. those were the two in my case. my uterus was actually protruding from my vagina, i would have abdominal pain rfequently, and i couldnt even keep a tampon in b/c the uterus would force it out. i had to have a hysterectomy. now alls good she should see a gynecologist and seek a second opinion, if it doesnt feel normal to her, then it probably isnt. after all a woman begins to learn and know her body over time and you should know what norm and not norm for your body/vagina
