can someone die from having a prolapsed uterus?

If you have any type of surgery, you can die.  So, I guess, if you decided on a surgical repair of this condition, death is a possibility.  That is not the same as dying from a prolapsed uterus.\n\nIt does sound like the types of surgerys needed to repair a prolapse are pretty common and not very difficult to perform.  I would really consider surgery, especially since it could improve my quality of life.  Good luck to you!

Nope, everything remains the same except some people experience premature menapause symptoms. I've heard people whose sex lives were affected by hysterectomy, probably due to the hormonal changes. I wouldn't do it unless it was a medical necessity.

Yes there is.  Here is a link that shows various treatments.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_fibroids#Treatment\n\nI had the uterine arterial embolization.  It hurt like a mofo, but it was worth it.  If you go with this option, you can email me at zyada_tx @ yahoo.com for more information.\n\nDo NOT let a doctor convince you that you must get a hysterectomy! Some doctors are convinced that hystorectomy is the only way to treat this (or perhaps they prefer the profit margin).\n\nAlso, I heard very, very bad things about the medicine listed in that article. It's basically an artificial menopause with all the grief that entails.

It's spelled fibroid, and it is a noncancerous tumor that grows in the myometrium (which is the middle layer of the uterus).  A lot of women have them... they are almost never seriously health-threatening, but they do cause a lot of inconvenient and painful symptoms, like heavy and long-lasting periods.\n\nThere are two surgical ways to treat fibroids: hysterectomy and myomectomy.  A hysterectomy removes the uterus, which does destroy fertility, permanently and irreversibly.  A myomectomy does not destroy fertility, although if there is scarring left on the uterus it can make conception more difficult.  If you have had fibroid tumors in the past, you are more likely to eventually develop more of them, although most fibroids do not have symptoms, so you may never have any problems.

No, although occasionally I ask my husband to choke me while we're having sex, but not for a lengthy amount of time. I read somewhere that at least 200 people die yearly from autoerotic asphyxiation.

If you have a uterus, it can contract and cause cramps.

No.\n\nFibroids grow from the myometrium of the uterus. Therefore, no uterus = no myometrium = no fibroids.\n\nThe period like symptoms could be due to endometriosis. It is possible that even though you've had a hysterectomy, that if you suffered with endometriosis prior to it, you could still suffer from it now.\n\nSee your doctor, or seek a referal to a gynaecologist, who should be able to help you.

ABSOLUTELY...ask your OB...opinion of laymen on this is not safe!

she gets an std & dies

Absolutely.  That baby is half the father's too.  The mother will ultimately probably have the final say.  Abortion could affect her uterus enough that she is unable to have children in the future due to scar tissue buildup.

This is referred to as a prolapsed uterus. Symptoms include a feeling of fullness or pressure in your pelvis (you may describe it as a feeling of sitting on a small ball), low back pain, feeling that something is coming out of your vagina, painful intercourse, difficulty with urination or moving your bowels, and difficulty walking.

no, but they can die from the cause of jaundice, such as liver failure, or cirrhosis, or not enough bile

Sept. 27, 2005 --  A baby born outside of her mother's uterus is raising questions about whether or not men can conceive.\n\nToday Emylea Tharby is a healthy 4-month-old, but there is only a one in 10 million chance that she is even alive. \n\n"When we did the MRI, we put two and two together," said Dr. Renato Natale. "We couldn't see a uterus around the baby."\n\nEmylea developed outside of the womb when a fertilized egg fell into her mother's abdominal cavity. The placenta that feeds the baby was planted outside of the uterus. \n\nThe baby was delivered during emergency surgery with minor disabilities.\n\n"She's the most beautiful child I could ever dream of having," said Emylea's mother, Lia Tharby. \n\nThe successful pregnancy without a womb raises questions as to whether a man could one day become pregnant.\n\n"Good Morning America" medical contributor, Dr. David Katz, weighed in on the debate. He said men would need the female hormones necessary to sustain a pregnancy.\n\n"Could it be done? Yes," Katz said. "But there would be unpleasant side effects for a guy. I wouldn't rush off to try that."

Yes, there is. It's called Uterine Fibroid Embolization.

A miscarriage is different for every woman, but if you were bleeding and having severe cramps, then it may be safe to say you did.  But if you had a period right after, then I highly doubt it.  Your body wouldn't have adjusted that quickly.

When the old uterine lining begins to break down, molecular compounds called prostaglandins are released. These compounds, specifically prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha), cause the muscles of the uterus to contract. When the uterine muscles contract, they constrict the blood supply (vasoconstriction) to the endometrium. This contraction blocks the delivery of oxygen to the tissue of the endometrium which, in turn, breaks down and dies. After the death of this tissue, the uterine contractions literally squeeze the old endometrial tissue through the cervix and out of the body by way of the vagina. \n\nThe difference between menstrual cramps that are more painful and those that are less painful is apparently related to a woman's prostaglandin levels. Women with menstrual cramps have prostaglandin blood levels that are 5-13 times higher than women who do not experience cramps. Menstrual cramps are very similar to those a pregnant woman experiences when she is given prostaglandin as a medication to induce labor.

Yes, she did. This may have contributed to the ectopic pregnancy she suffered while married to Arthur Miller, which was aborted in order to save her life. (Scroll down to 'Arthur Miller' section in link below.)
