Uterine Prolapse is a term I had never heard of

But it has become fairly common in eastern Ukraine, where the stress level is quite high and women carry heavy objects up many staircases. This is the result of the five-year conflict in eastern Ukraine between opposing Ukrainian government forces and separatists backed by Russia. What is Uterine Prolapse? It's when the uterus slips down the vagina, sometimes falling out entirely.

Living conditions in this area are pretty bad.  Corpses are stored without refrigeration. Forty residents share one shower and one toilet. Some live in a 25-square-feet room, a former broom closet. Infrastructure is damaged. The government is doing nothing. Water from the tap is green, smells like a river and sometimes carries algae and little fish.
