Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern
Pressure feeling while sitting down is suggestive of uterine prolapse. Uterus can prolapse down from its normal anatomical position due to pelvic floor muscle weakness.
Pelvic/vaginal examination can confirm the diagnosis. Management is by doing kegels exercise for strengthening pelvic floor muscle. Pessary rings is used to keep the uterus back in anatomical position. If these measures fail then hysterectomy is indicated.
Please be advised to follow up with your gynecologist to undergo pelvic examination.
