It is marked by elevated blood pressure (hypertension), protein in the urine (proteinuria), and swelling (edema) that is strikingly noticeable in the hands and face.

 Vaginal Diseases - Prolapse of the uterus into the vagina usually is a delayed reaction to childbirth injuries that created a weakness that is increased by gravitational forces. Sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure, such as may be produced by coughing, sneezing, or bowel movements, then force the rectal or uterine tissue out through the adjacent opening.
