Summary

Uterine prolapse during pregnancy is rare but manageable. Conservative treatment like bed rest can successfully prevent complications for both mother and fetus, with no prolapse evident postpartum.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Uterine prolapse, the descent of the uterus into the vaginal canal, is uncommon during pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy typically exerts upward pressure, making prolapse a rare occurrence.

Observation:

  • A case of a pregnant patient experiencing progressive uterine prolapse was documented.
  • Cervical descent to the introitus occurred at 10 weeks gestation, worsening as pregnancy advanced.

Findings:

  • Conservative management, including strict bed rest, was implemented.
  • This approach successfully averted significant maternal and fetal risks associated with uterine prolapse in pregnancy.

Implications:

  • Conservative management is a viable strategy for uterine prolapse during pregnancy.
