what is a prolapsed uterus?!


Question:
Answers:
Your uterus (womb in which a fetus develops) is normally held in place inside your pelvis with various muscles, tissue, and ligaments. Sometimes—because of childbirth or difficult labor and delivery—these muscles weaken. As a woman ages and with a natural loss of the hormone estrogen, her uterus can collapse into the vaginal canal, causing the condition known as a prolapsed uterus.

Other Answers:
it is when the muscles that keep the uterus in place get loosened or torn, and the uterus protrudes down into the vagina sometimes even outside the body. This usually only happens to older women who have had a lot of children.

Basically, it is a uterus that has turned inside out, and is protruding through your vaginal area. It is usually caused from the ligaments that hold your uterus up are stretched out. Women who are older, and usually have had several children seem to get this condition more often than others.
