Abstract
Uterine prolapsed is a rare conditon occurs during
pregnancy and lead to many complicatons. Usually
conservatve treatment approached to use a vaginal
pessary accompanied with bed rest. This current case
exhibited obvious role of a vaginal pessary in restoring the
prolapsed organ tll the tme of labor and may expect
delivery at home. When studying the style of labor,
Gynecologist should bear in their mind the cervical
irritaton and edema. Along with the genital prolapsed
which may afect normal vaginal delivery.

Introducton
Uterine prolapse is a course of genital prolapsed, which
happens when the uterus slips from its place into the vagina.
Although the incidence rate of uterine prolapse has declined
during the past decade in developed natons due to the
gradual decrease in parity, approximately 50% of all adults
who have delivered a near-term infant have some degree of
clinically apparent genital prolapsed [1].
Genital prolapse is a conditon that can dramatcally afect
quality of life causing specifc problems like inability to walk,
sitng, lifing and bending [2].
Genital prolapse may start before labor. Nevertheless, in the
most of cases, pregnancy has advertsed efect on a pre-
existng prolapse. The concomitant phenomenon of a third
trimester pregnancy with a signifcant level of pelvic organ
prolapse is extremely rare [3].
Setlement of the prolapse in later weeks of pregnancy is
expected as there is an increase in the uterine volume, which
helps to posture on the pelvic brim. Now we discuss a case of a
woman who presented with genital prolapsed before to
deliver her child.
Case Report
A 28-year-old lady pregnant four tmes, Para 3, living 2
presented at 36 weeks of gestaton, she complains with from
low backache, abdominal pain and a mass in her vagina for 3
days. In her current pregnancy was complicated from the
beginning and second trimesters. She found a mass per vagina,
which appears suddenly. She had no history of chronic
constpaton, lifing heavy objects or chronic cough. When we
do a physical examinaton of the reproductve tract system,
observed that the lower part of the uterus gets out. The cervix
of the uterus was bulging and appear afer the vaginal
opening, but easily to return back to it is the normal positon.
The cervical OS was closed and other systems were normal.
Ultrasound shows normal cervical anatomy. Therefore, she
was admited to the hospital and the protruding part was
returning back without surgical interventon. She was given
antbiotcs, intravenous Betamethasone (12 mg, two tmes
with 12 hours apart) and to contnue on prophylactc tocolytc,
per oral every 8 hours daily for one week and was counseled
about importance of bed rest at home. Afer four weeks, she
had an uneventul normal vaginal delivery at home and the
protruding part return without interventon. She came back on
the 25th day afer delivery with the appearance of the mass
for the second tme. On testng the lower uterine part was
outside the vaginal opening and the uterus was of appropriate
measurement. We did not fnd any puerperal infecton
elsewhere. The patent was moved over a regime of antbiotc
tabs, as well as iron and advised for Sling operaton plus tubal
ligaton afer puerperium.
Discussion
Protrusion of the uterus not more occur during gestaton
nevertheless happened more common in non-pregnant elderly
women. It may develop for the frst tme during gestaton, but
in the most of conditon, pregnancy could consider a direct
cause of prolapsed uterus. When more or less stage of
protrusion is found prior gestaton, commonly contnues tll
the pregnancy advance to a stage where spontaneous
reducible occurs. In many conditons, a symptom of the
prolapsed happens in the last trimester, if it takes place at the
beginning of the pregnancy, can resolve afer labor and
delivery spontaneously.
