The Silent Strain: What Is Uterine Prolapse?
Many women live with uterine prolapse without saying anything about it, thinking it's just normal after childbirth or part of ageing. In fact, it's a medical condition that may be treated. It happens when the pelvic muscles and ligaments get weak and the uterus slips down into or even outside the vaginal canal.
Uterine fibroids are among the most common benign tumours affecting women of reproductive age, yet their impact often goes unnoticed until they interfere with life’s most intimate goals like motherhood.
- Studies suggest that nearly 50% of women above 50 may experience some degree of pelvic organ prolapse during their lifetime, yet only a fraction seek help.
- Nearly 70–80% of women develop fibroids by the age of 50, and about 1 in 4 women experience such as heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, or difficulty conceiving.
- Around 25% of women between 30–50 years are affected, though many remain undiagnosed until fertility challenges emerge.
- This has been seen as one of the key reasons behind most failed conception attempts.
Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse
The most common signs to look out for are:
- A sensation of heaviness or pulling in the pelvis
- Feeling of a lump or bulge in the vaginal area
- Lower back pain that worsens after standing
- Urinary incontinence or frequent urge to urinate
- Pain during intercourse
- Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
Uterine prolapse doesn't always happen all at once; it happens slowly as the pelvic muscles get weaker. You might not notice the early indicators, but you should never dismiss them. In later stages, the uterus may stick out of the vaginal opening. Women often say it feels like something falling down within, which may be both physically and emotionally painful.

Uterine Prolapse Treatment Options in Gurgaon
Every woman’s body and stage of prolapse are unique. With Dr Kalra’s approach in Gurgaon, treatment focuses on personalised recovery, balancing comfort, fertility goals, and long-term wellness.
Non-surgical Treatments
For mild or moderate prolapse, conservative approaches can be quite helpful:
- Kegel exercises for the pelvic floor: Make muscles stronger and help with minor prolapse.
- A pessary device: A small, detachable ring that goes in the vagina and holds the uterus in place.
- Managing your lifestyle: Keeping your weight in check, eating a lot of fibre, and not lifting heavy things can all help.
- Hormone therapy: Oestrogen creams may assist menopausal women keep the tone of their pelvic tissue.
Surgical Treatments
When prolapse is moderate to severe, surgery provides lasting relief and structural correction. Some common procedures are:
- Vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy: This is the removal of the uterus when it has prolapsed too far.
- Uterine Suspension Surgery (Sacrohysteropexy): This surgery lifts and secures the uterus using mesh or natural tissue, keeping the anatomy and fertility intact.
- Laparoscopic Uterine Prolapse Surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that speeds up healing, causes less pain, and shortens hospital stays.
Patients are fully educated, comfortable, and involved in the decision-making process for each surgery.
Causes & Risk Factors of Uterine Prolapse
Uterine prolapse can result from several causes that weaken pelvic support structures. The most common include:
- Childbirth trauma: Vaginal deliveries, especially multiple or complicated ones, can overstretch or injure the pelvic floor.
- Ageing & menopause: Low oestrogen levels reduce muscle elasticity and pelvic strength.
- Chronic pressure: Persistent coughing, constipation, or heavy lifting can strain pelvic tissues.
- Obesity: Extra weight in the stomach puts more pressure on the pelvis.
- Genetic predisposition: Some women are born with connective tissues that are naturally weaker.
Knowing what causes these problems can help you avoid them and get care early on for long-term pelvic health.
Complications if Left Untreated
Ignoring symptoms of uterine prolapse can have long-term consequences. Without treatment, the condition can worsen over time and lead to:
- Chronic pelvic pain and discomfort
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Difficulty urinating or passing stools
- Vaginal ulcers from tissue exposure
- Negative impact on sexual health and emotional well-being

What our patient say about us ?
I was accidentally diagnosed with dermoid cyst ovary at the age of 21.
I am lucky to get operated by Dr Aruna. She treated me as a mother. Her operative skills are
to be admired. Cyst was removed, ovary sutured and follow up ultrasound was perfectly clear.
I could join back after a week with no residual pain. I am really thankful to Dr Aruna.
Doctor did my aunt’s surgery for endometriotic cyst. It was 7.5 *8 cm chocolate
cyst. She was unable to conceive. After removing cyst laparoscopically, Dr Aruna rightly
advised her next steps for conception. Very patient and humble. Always answered her endless
queries. Recovery was also very easy from the surgery. I would recommend her to everyone.

with patients and make them smile. She is no doubt an angel with blessing of God to serve
the human beings. We are highly thankful to Dr. Kalra.
I was bleeding heavily every month with excruciating pain starting many days
before periods. I was mistreated and misguided, given repeated courses of hormones. When I
met Dr Aruna, she explained the disease is adenomyosis and spread of endometriosis. After my
laparoscopy, we discussed how to prevent recurrence and followed her treatment. I believe,
once knew the reason of my disease, it felt better to understand the management, Dr Aruna
explains at length. She makes you comfortable before surgery with thorough counselling. Best
gynaecologist.
I am having wonderful experience with Aruna ma'am. Her experience can be seen

opinion, got her reference through distant relative. We came from Kolkata got operated
laparoscopic myomectomy and after 6 months of monthly treatment under ma’am’s guidance, she
is blessed with 6 months pregnancy now. I wish we knew about Dr Kalra before. Best
laparoscopic surgeon, very best human being.
I met Dr. Aruna when i was planning fr a baby. Had met 2-3 gynaecologists
before her but my experience was very bad. Me and my husband were very happy with her during
our first consultation itself. She exudes so much positivity and confidence that its
infectious. She is a very easy going and humble person. Can discuss even the silliest
concerns with her and she would resolve it. I feel very fortunate to have found such a
doctor. She made my pregnancy journey very smooth. Would highly recommend her.
