Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Gynecology
Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

Uterine prolapse involves the descent of the uterus and cervix into the vaginal canal.
This condition is uncommon, particularly during pregnancy and active labor.

Observation:

A 29-year-old pregnant woman presented with severe uterine prolapse during active labor.
The cervix was edematous and bleeding, but manual reduction was feasible.

Findings:

Delivery was achieved via cesarean section.
Prophylactic bilateral uterine artery ligation was performed to mitigate postpartum hemorrhage risk.
Spontaneous resolution of uterine prolapse occurred postpartum.

Implications:

This case underscores the rarity and potential complications of uterine prolapse during labor.
Careful clinical assessment and tailored management strategies are crucial for optimizing maternal and fetal outcomes.
