b
The uterus is kept in place by a number of muscles
and ligaments which make up the pelvic floor. When these
muscles and ligaments become stretched, damaged or weak
ened through sustained forces brought about by events such as
pregnancy and straining, they no longer provide the support
to prevent the uterus from falling into the vagina. The col
lapse can be either a complete collapse where it protrudes
outside the body or partial.
