My mom is 50 and has been having lower abdomen pain for days. Her USG scan shows a retroverted uterus and low lying prolapse. How serious is this and will she need surgery

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

A retroverted uterus and low-lying prolapse can cause lower abdominal pain and may or may not require surgery, depending on the severity and symptoms. A retroverted uterus (tilted backward) is common and often doesn't cause symptoms, but can sometimes be associated with pain, especially during menstruation or intercourse. Uterine prolapse, where the uterus descends into the vagina, can range from mild to severe and may cause discomfort or interfere with daily activities. Treatment options vary, with mild cases often managed with pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes, while more severe cases may require surgery.

My CD4 count is 150 and I have a third-degree uterus prolapse. The local gynecologist mentioned surgery might be an option if my CD4 reaches 350. What can I do to improve my CD4 count quickly or are there other treatment options for the prolapse in my current condition

A CD4 count of 150 indicates a severely weakened immune system due to HIV, and a third-degree uterine prolapse requires management. The most effective way to improve your CD4 count is through consistent adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV, which can increase your CD4 count by 100-150 cells/mm3 within the first year. For the prolapse, while surgery is an option, non-surgical approaches like pelvic floor exercises, pessary use, or physical therapy may provide relief and improve your condition

I'm wondering if it's necessary to have a stitch again during my second pregnancy. I had one during my first pregnancy but I don't think I have cervical incompetence. The first time, I didn't really have a choice, but now I'm considering not having it. Could there be any risks to my baby if I skip it this time? I'm also concerned if the previous stitch might have caused any damage to my cervix.

The need for a cerclage in your second pregnancy depends on whether you have risk factors like cervical insufficiency or a history of preterm birth. If you dont have those issues, a cerclage may not be necessary. Speak with your doctor to assess the need for monitoring
