Abstract Around 1960, uterine prolapse was popular in rural China because women participated in farm work as never before and even became the main force despite starvation and lack of rest and nutrition during the Great Leap Forward movement. In addition, hunger, and lack of rest and nutrition also contribute to the disease. Most people with uterine prolapse were young women who suffered a lot and were eager for treatment. Jiangsu provincial party committee and government and relevant health departments carried out treatment activities for women with uterine prolapse on the basis of a series of investigation reports. In specific therapeutic activities, the health departments flexibly adopted the methods of traditional Chinese medicine, folk prescriptions and recipes and western medicine and achieved good results.
