Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Vitamin C has been traditionally suggested as a supportive remedy for prolapsed uterus, primarily due to its role in collagen synthesis and tissue repair. Historically, some practitioners of alternative and naturopathic medicine have believed that vitamin C can help strengthen the connective tissues that support the uterus, potentially slowing the progression of uterine prolapse or supporting recovery post-surgery. The rationale is based on the general function of vitamin C in aiding the formation of collagen, a key structural protein in ligaments and tissues. However, there is a lack of direct scientific evidence or clinical trials demonstrating a clear benefit of vitamin C supplementation for the prevention or treatment of uterine prolapse specifically. Most available information is anecdotal or found in older medical and herbal literature, rather than peer-reviewed scientific studies. While adequate vitamin C is important for overall tissue health and wound healing, its direct effect on uterine prolapse remains unproven. Thus, while use persists in some traditional and complementary health circles, mainstream medical guidelines do not recognize vitamin C as a primary or evidence-based treatment for prolapsed uterus.
