It is well-known that multiparity and advanced age are major risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse which can rarely complicate pregnancy. We present the youngest case of uterine prolapse during pregnancy. She admitted with ruptured membranes at the 36th week of gestation and irreducible prolapse. As the edematous and thick, trapped and ulcerated cervix was not reducible, labor was obstructed due to cervical dystocia and a cesarean delivery was decided. A live male infant weighing 3100 gram was delivered. The prolapsed uterus recovered spontaneously following the cesarean operation. Uterine prolapse during pregnancy should be managed conservatively. It seems to be essential to perform elective cesarean section because of the risk of possible obstructed labor. We observed a rapid recovery of the anatomy, probably due to the young age.

Mitral Valve Prolapse III: Nursing Management

The nursing management of Mitral Valve Prolapse, or MVP, centers around patient education, symptom monitoring, and lifestyle modifications.Patient Education on MVP Diagnosis and Heredity: Nurses should provide comprehensive education about MVP, a condition where the mitral valve does not close appropriately during heartbeats. This education often includes the condition's pathophysiology, symptoms, and potential complications, like arrhythmias or mitral regurgitation. Though not fully...

Uterine Tubes01:16

Uterine Tubes

The uterine or fallopian tubes function as the conduit through which oocytes travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Each fallopian tube measures approximately 10 to 13 cm long and is anatomically divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and interstitial part (or intramural segment). The infundibulum is characterized by its funnel shape and features extensions called fimbriae which reach towards the peritoneal cavity. These fimbriae play a critical role during ovulation as they extend...

Uterus and Cervix01:18

Uterus and Cervix

The uterus, commonly called the womb, is a vital reproductive organ in females designed to provide a nurturing environment for the implantation and growth of an embryo. It is shaped like a hollow pear and positioned between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The uterus's structure allows it to support and protect a developing fetus throughout pregnancy.
The uterus is securely anchored within the pelvic cavity by paired broad ligaments on either side. It is further stabilized by three pairs...
