Prevention of prolapse in middle age

At the age of 35, the woman is still young and fresh, but at the same time experienced and knows how to appreciate the joys of life. Prolapse of the genitals can, if not cross out, then at least change life plans.
What causes uterine prolapse in adulthood?
From the age of 35, the amount of estrogen in a woman's body begins to decrease – hormones that affect the density and elasticity of connective tissue. Along with the first wrinkles and decreased skin turgor, the ligaments that hold the uterus and pelvic floor weaken. Without regular Kegel exercises, the process accelerates. Physical activity, heavy lifting, and standing work – All this leads to the fact that the walls of the vagina begin to sag, and the uterus shifts downwards.
Previous births can affect the condition of the pelvic floor muscles, especially if the woman has not made any effort to restore her intimate muscles and has not used vaginal exercisers for training. Pregnancy and childbirth after 35 years of age without prior preparation and strengthening of the perineum create a high risk of genital prolapse.

Dietary restrictions are followed by immoderate food consumption and lead to intestinal dysfunction and chronic constipation. Chronic problems with bowel movements can trigger the development of genital prolapse. Vaginal prolapse is often accompanied by rectal prolapse, which further exacerbates constipation.
