Understanding Uterine Prolapse: When Your Uterus Drops

Uterine prolapse is a common condition that occurs when the muscles in the pelvis weaken, causing the uterus to descend into the vagina. It can be triggered by factors such as childbirth, age, straining on the toilet, low hormone levels after menopause, obesity, and smoking. Symptoms may include a sensation of heaviness and pressure in the vagina, a lump or bulge, painful intercourse, urinary leakage, and difficulty emptying the bladder. Treatment options range from pelvic floor exercises and vaginal pessaries to surgical procedures like reconstructive surgery or hysterectomy. It is important for individuals experiencing uterine prolapse to consult with their healthcare provider for an appropriate treatment plan.

Woman's Uterus Falls Out During Gas Passing Incident Resembling Penis.

A woman on TikTok shared her experience of her uterus falling out after breaking wind in the middle of the night. The 18-year-old claimed that when she was younger she woke up in the middle of the night after she “farted really loud” and found her “uterus hanging out” in her underwear. She explained that her intestinal issues led to a weakened pelvic floor which allowed her uterus to slip out of place and hang out of her vagina. According to the Mayo Clinic, it is most likely to happen to people after menopause who’ve had one or more vaginal births and usually doesn’t require treatment. Experts suggest kegel exercises or pelvic floor therapy to help strengthen the muscles in that area.

Woman's Fart Reveals Uterus in Underwear.

A TikTok video of a woman claiming her uterus came out of her vagina after farting has gone viral. While uterine prolapse is a real condition, it is very unlikely to happen to young people. Uterine prolapse is caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue, which can occur in older people who have experienced childbearing, chronic constipation, severe coughing, obesity, hormonal changes during menopause, or hysterectomies. Treatment options range from Kegel exercises to surgical intervention, and preventative measures include maintaining good pelvic floor strength, using stool softeners, increasing fiber in your diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising. If you suspect you have uterine prolapse, speak to your primary care provider or OB-GYN.

Woman's Uterus Prolapses After Farting

A high school senior in the US experienced a uterine prolapse after waking up from a fart last summer. The condition occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments are weakened to the point of not being able to provide enough support for the uterus, so the uterus either slips into or protrudes out of the vagina. While it is very unlikely for young people to experience prolapse, maintaining good pelvic floor strength, practicing Kegel exercises, using stool softeners, increasing fiber in the diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising can help prevent it. If it happens, see an OB-GYN who can help get you into pelvic floor therapy and rehab, or refer you to a urogynecologist for surgical intervention.
