The elderly suffer from uterine prolapse and can be discharged from the hospital within one week under normal circumstances. I suggest you not to worry too much. Relax your mind.

Uterine prolapse is a gynecological disease that exists in the female reproductive organs. Generally refers to the symptom of a woman's uterus protruding outward along the vagina. Usually, women with uterine prolapse require surgical treatment. Since each female patient's condition and physical condition are different, the surgical method is not unique.

In recent years, the incidence of uterine prolapse has been slowly increasing. Generally, the common groups of uterine prolapse are the following, namely women who have multiple births or multiple miscarriages, women who do heavy physical labor for a long time, and women who have too frequent sexual intercourse. Most female patients with uterine prolapse will experience symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea, vaginal bleeding, nausea, abdominal pain, frequent urination and urgency. For female patients with uterine prolapse, the best treatment is surgery. Due to the different surgical methods used by each patient, the time they need to be hospitalized will also be different.

Generally, women of childbearing age will choose uterine suspension surgery to treat uterine prolapse. Because this surgical method uses a sling made of special materials to gradually pull the uterus back to its original position. Therefore, there is basically no damage to the uterus during the operation, which will not affect the fertility of female patients after recovery. Moreover, women who choose this surgical method for treatment have a relatively short operation time and a faster postoperative recovery. Therefore, the time they need to be hospitalized is relatively short.

If a female patient with uterine prolapse has no desire to have children, and her uterine prolapse is also serious. Then, most doctors will recommend female patients to choose total hysterectomy to treat uterine prolapse. Because this surgical method can quickly control the deterioration of the condition. And after the patient recovers, there is no possibility of recurrence of uterine prolapse. However, this surgical method is very harmful to the patient, so patients generally need to be hospitalized for more than a week after the operation before they can be discharged and go home for recuperation.
