“…Uterine prolapse during pregnancy may also lead to abortion, preterm labour, and preterm birth. Additionally, obstructed labour and uterine rupture due to prolonged labour related to the prolapse remain serious and life-threatening intrapartum complications (6,7). Although the mode of delivery is controversial in cases of uterine prolapse, caesarean section is recommended as the safest option to prevent potentially dangerous intrapartum complications, such as obstructed labour and uterine rupture (3,(8)(9)(10).…”

ÖzetProlapse uteri, uterus ve serviksin vajen giriminden dışarı çıkması olarak tanımlanır. Gebelikte oldukça nadir izlenir; insidansı 10.000-15.000 doğumda 1'dir. Biz bu olgu sunumu ile 30 yaşında gebelik sayısı 5 doğum sayısı 3 olan ve gebelikte prolapse uteri tanısı ile takip edilen, ancak gebelik takipleri düzensiz, gebelik boyunca herhangi ciddi bir problem yaşamayan ve 38. gebelik haftasında elektif sezaryen ile doğum yaptırdığımız olguyu sunacağız. Hastanın sezaryen ile doğum sonrasında uterus prolapse hali devam etti. Sonuç olarak prolapse uteri gebelikte nadir görülen ve ciddi bir komplikasyona yol açmayabilen bir durumdur. AbstractUterine prolapse is defined as descent of the uterus and cervix into or beyond the vagina. It is often caused by a weakness in the pelvic diaphragm and it is rarely diagnosed during pregnancy with the estimated incidence of 1 per 10,000 -15,000 deliveries. We report the case of a 30-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 5 para 3, who was presented with a total uterine prolapse who did not have regular antenatal follow-up. An elective caesarean section was performed at 38 weeks gestation and the prolapse persisted after delivery. In conclusion, uterine prolapse during pregnancy is a rare condition and may not complicate pregnancy.

“…Elective cesarean section partially effective in preventing pelvic organ prolapse, cesarean delivery during active labour and vaginal delivery had similar effect on pelvic organ prolapse. 8 Cesarean hysterectomy followed by vaginal cuff suspension to the periosteum overlying the sacral promontory could be an option in women who have completed their families and are suffering from pelvic organ prolapse complicating the third stage of pregnancy, especially in developing countries where access to health care is limited. 9 Incarceration of a retroflexed gravid uterus should be considered to be the differential diagnosis in any woman who presents with voiding difficulty in late first or second trimester.…”
