Uterine Prolapse

The uterus is sinking. It is leaving its position, pressing downward, pushing against the pelvic floor — sometimes barely noticeable, sometimes so clearly that you perceive a foreign body sensation, pressure, heaviness, the feeling that something inside you has lost its hold. Medically, uterine prolapse is a weakening of the supporting structures in the pelvic floor — ligaments, muscles, connective tissue that hold the organ in its place. Pregnancies, age, and physical strain all play a role.

But the psychosomatic perspective asks deeper: what has sunk inside you? What inner force, which once carried you, has lost its hold? And why does something push downward with such force — as if it can no longer bear to remain enclosed?

Uterine prolapse is not decay — it is a signal that something in you can no longer endure limitation.
