Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), including vaginal stump prolapse, is caused by the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles. In vaginal stump prolapse, the support mechanisms of pelvic organs are disrupted due to factors such as increased intra-abdominal pressure, resulting in the pelvic organs hanging down and escaping from the vaginal opening. Here, we report a case of vaginal stump prolapse that developed after bilateral nephroureteral hysterectomy, with recurrence due to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure from ascites associated with cirrhosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
