My mother is 70 years old, weak & asthmatic. She is regularly on Asthalin Inhaler, Amlodpine (BP), Rabeprazole & Propmethazine (Dyspepsia), Clonazepam (Sleep Disorder) and Cremadiet (Constipation). She is a vegetarian. Recently she complained about prolapsus of uterus which she experienced during coughing, but there was no bleeding. The case was diagnosed by one gynaecologist. She recommended – though the solution is hysterectomy, but the patient may not sustain the operation because of old age.We have added Multi-vitamin with anti-oxidant as a dietary supplement for her. We have the following questions that may please be answered –
(i) Is calcium supplement required ?
(ii) Can it be cured through naturopathy / homoeopathy (may be as a supplement to allopathy) ?
(iii) What are the precautions to be taken to avoid uterus cancer ?
Pl. help.

a prolapsed uterus is a surgical problem, this a physical abnomialy and supplements would be of no benefit to cure or prevent this, A prolapsed uterus means the uterus is physically falling into and out of the vagina
Why would homoeopathy help a structural prolapse? Homoeopathy is bunk, forget it. Vitamins and supplements are not going to help in this instance either.
But with regards to her prolapse, depending on her overall health, surgery may be an option, there are several types not just hysterectomy. Suspending the uterus is one option. Pessaries may help for now or not treating is an option too. It really depends on the degree of prolapse and your mothers general condition. Pelvic floor exercises help but that might be awkard for her if she’s weak.
(i) No
(ii) No
(iii) Nothing she can do really.
I can only echo everything Rhianna said.
beat me to it again
I respectfully disagree. Some things to try before surgery would be supplementing with Vitamin D. A recent study showed a connection between connective tissue (including pelvic floor connective tissue) weakness associated with lower than optimal levels of Vitamin D in women. Second, physical therapy exercises are a must (with or without surgery) A great reference site at http://www.hab-it.com These exercises may not reverse the uterine prolapse, but they can ease any discomfort and prevent further dropping of the organ and other organs. Third, your mom can use a pessary device, which is a small silicone or latex ring, that she can be fitted for by her urogyn, that helps to give better support to her uterus, holding it up in its appropriate position.
Surgery is a very big and should be last resort. Good luck!
