Prolapse Uterus Treatment in Gurgaon

By Dr. Vatsal Thakral – Gynaecologist | Gynae Laparoscopic and Hysteroscopic Surgeon | Gynae Oncologist in Gurgaon (7+ years of experience)

A prolapsed uterus is a condition in which the uterus slips down into or even outside of the vaginal canal. This usually happens when the muscles and ligaments that support the uterus become weak or stretched. It’s a common issue, especially in women who have had multiple vaginal deliveries, gone through menopause, or lifted heavy objects over the years.

At the practice of Dr. Vatsal Thakral, we understand that a prolapsed uterus can deeply impact your quality of life. Whether you're experiencing discomfort, urinary issues, or a feeling of heaviness in the pelvic region, Dr. Thakral offers a clear diagnosis and individualized treatment approach using the latest techniques in laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

What Causes Uterine Prolapse?

Several factors can contribute to the weakening of pelvic floor muscles:

• Pregnancy and childbirth (especially multiple or complicated vaginal deliveries)
• Menopause, due to reduced estrogen levels
• Chronic coughing, obesity, or straining during bowel movements
• Heavy lifting over long periods
• Aging, which naturally weakens muscle tone over time

Understanding the cause is key to choosing the best treatment path, and this is where Dr. Vatsal Thakral’s 7+ years of hands-on expertise makes all the difference.

Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse

Some women may not notice early symptoms, while others experience noticeable discomfort. Common signs include:

• A feeling of heaviness or pulling in the pelvis
• Tissue protruding from the vagina
• Urinary incontinence or retention
• Difficulty with bowel movements
• Backache or lower abdominal pressure
• Painful intercourse

Even mild prolapse should be evaluated, as early management often leads to better outcomes.

Diagnosis by Dr. Vatsal Thakral

During your consultation, Dr. Vatsal Thakral will conduct a thorough pelvic examination to assess the degree of prolapse. He may also recommend imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI in certain cases to examine supporting structures and rule out other pelvic floor disorders.

With his advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic training, Dr. Thakral is known for providing accurate assessments and crafting tailored treatment plans that are both effective and minimally invasive.

Treatment Options

The right treatment depends on the severity of the prolapse and your overall health. At Dr. Thakral’s Gurgaon-based practice, we offer both non-surgical and surgical options, with a focus on long-term relief and improved quality of life.

Non-Surgical Management:

• Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels)
• Lifestyle changes (weight management, avoiding heavy lifting)
• Pessary device – a removable device inserted into the vagina to support the uterus

These are usually suitable for mild cases or for women who wish to delay surgery.

Surgical Options (Minimally Invasive):

• Laparoscopic Uterine Suspension
  Repositions and supports the uterus using specialized sutures or mesh
  Preserves the uterus (ideal for women wanting to retain it)
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
  Removal of the uterus, often recommended in moderate to severe prolapse or for women past childbearing
  Done via small keyhole incisions, resulting in faster recovery and minimal discomfort

Dr. Vatsal Thakral is a leading expert in laparoscopic gynecological surgeries, allowing women to recover faster and return to daily life with confidence.
