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	Hung out swelled uterus, abdominal pains, increased palpitation, bleeding, colic and weakness - these are the symptoms of propapse of uterus condition in animal. Jethabhai Ukabhai from Bhavnagar district of Gujarat collects the inner bark of neem (Azadirachta indica) and Indian madder (Rubia cordifolia) and keeps these soaked in water overnight. He feeds the soaked bark to the animal the next morning. This gives protection to the animal against prolapse of the uterus. Jethabhai had this information from a fellow farmer. Majority of people of this area also follow this method for treating their animals affected with prolapse of uterus.
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.
