Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs	Signs and symptoms of moderate to severe uterine prolapse include: Sensation of heaviness or pulling in your pelvis. Tissue protruding from your vagina. Urinary problems, such as urine leakage (incontinence) or urine retention.
Disease Description	Uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments stretch and weaken and no longer provide enough support for the uterus. As a result, the uterus slips down into or protrudes out of the vagina. Uterine prolapse can occur in women of any age.
Disease Control	Treatment depends on how weak the supporting structures around your uterus have become. You can strengthen your pelvic muscles by performing Kegel exercises. You do these by tightening your pelvic muscles, as if trying to stop the flow of urine.
Disease Prevention	To reduce your risk of uterine prolapse, try to: Perform Kegel exercises regularly. These exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles — especially important after you have a baby. Treat and prevent constipation.
Precautions	There is no way to completely prevent uterine prolapse. To reduce the risk of uterine prolapse, cows are returned to a standing position and encouraged to move around as soon as possible. This is especially important in cases where a calf is pulled to assist the mother.
Procedure of Use	Due to excess heat, the animal is suffering from the problem of prolapse of uterus. This problem normally encountered before or after conceiving/delivering the birth to new one and sometime the dust or foreign particles may stick to the uterus and lead to the infection. For preparation, boil 300 g bark of ghatti tree (Anogeissus latifolia) in 500 ml of water at a low flame till the water reduces to half. This boiled extract is cooled, filtered and then drenched to the affected animal with the help of drenching pipe (nal). This extract is given once a day to the animal and effective results can be seen in two days. Thus, animal is cured of the problem. It is a traditional practice. According to Dr. P. V. Parikh, prolapse of uterus results due to excess heat present in the body of animal and it is effective treatment.
Etiology Causative Agent	Uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments stretch and weaken and no longer provide enough support for the uterus. As a result, the uterus slips down into or protrudes out of the vagina. Uterine prolapse can occur in women of any age.
