Uterine prolapse is divided into 3 levels corresponding to the symptoms of the disease, in which level 1 is the mildest when the uterus is still in the vaginal canal and level 3 is the most dangerous when the entire uterus prolapses out of the vagina.

Postpartum uterine prolapse often occurs in women who have given birth many times, are carrying multiple pregnancies, have a long natural birth, are old, or often do heavy labor during the postpartum period.
