UV Prolapse Repair

What it is

UV prolapse repair is surgery to correct uterovaginal prolapse, a condition in which the uterus and the upper walls of the vagina slip downward from their normal position. This happens when the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments that hold these organs in place become weakened or stretched, often after childbirth, with ageing, or after the menopause. Women commonly describe a sense of heaviness, a bulge at the vaginal opening, or a feeling of something "coming down," which tends to be worse by the end of the day.

Dr. Abeera Ali performs laparoscopic (keyhole) UV prolapse repair in Faisalabad, working through a few small incisions rather than one large cut. The pelvic organs are gently lifted and re-secured to strong, natural support structures, restoring their position and function. Where appropriate, the uterus can be preserved with a uterus-sparing technique, or a hysterectomy can be combined with the repair, depending on your needs.

Who needs it

This procedure may help you if you have symptomatic uterovaginal prolapse that affects your daily comfort and quality of life. You may benefit if you experience:

• A visible or felt bulge in the vagina, or a sense of pelvic pressure
• Urinary symptoms such as leakage, urgency, or difficulty emptying the bladder
• Difficulty with bowel movements or a dragging sensation low in the pelvis
• Discomfort during intercourse or a persistent lower back ache
• Prolapse that has not improved with pelvic floor exercises or a vaginal pessary

Mild prolapse can often be managed without an operation. Dr. Abeera Ali offers honest, individual assessment so that women in Faisalabad understand every option before deciding on surgery.

What to expect

Before surgery, you will have a thorough pelvic examination and unhurried counselling about whether to keep or remove the uterus. The laparoscopic repair is carried out under general anaesthesia and usually takes around one to two hours, depending on what needs to be corrected.

Because the approach is minimally invasive, most patients enjoy smaller scars, less pain, and a quicker return to normal life than with open surgery. A short hospital stay is typical, followed by gradual recovery at home. You will be advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for several weeks while the repair heals.

Laparoscopic prolapse repair offers durable results, and clear follow-up care helps protect your long-term pelvic health. Advanced, uterus-sparing prolapse surgery is now available close to home in Pakistan, so you do not need to travel abroad for modern treatment.
