Uterine prolapse complicating pregnancy is extremely rare. However, in some cases, serious complications may appear such as miscarriage, preterm labor, infection, fetal demise, and maternal death. Management is essentially conservative but surgical intervention is always possible. We report a case of uterine prolapse in a young 24-year-old parturient, para 4, gravida 4 at 36 weeks of gestation. She was presented to the obstetric emergency, with uterine contraction and rupture of the amniotic sac. She successfully gave birth to a male baby weighing 2600 g by assisted vaginal delivery. We opted for conservative treatment and there were no fetal or maternal complications. A pessary was placed at the postpartum. Early diagnosis and good monitoring during pregnancy are essential to avoid complications; improve the prognosis of pregnancy and increase women´s chances to benefit from the advantages of conservative treatment.

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction01:27

Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction

IntroductionThe mitral valve, one of the heart's four valves, regulates blood flow. These valves have flaps that open and close to direct blood properly through the heart and body. During each heartbeat, the flaps open for blood to pass through and seal shut to prevent backflow. Specifically, the mitral valve opens to allow blood flow from the heart's upper left chamber to the lower left chamber. It then closes securely as the lower left chamber contracts to pump blood to the body, preventing...

Mitral Valve Prolapse II: Assessment and Management

IntroductionA range of clinical features characterizes Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), but it is important to note that many individuals with MVP are asymptomatic and may remain so throughout their lives. For those who do exhibit symptoms, the following are the key clinical features:Palpitations: This is a common symptom where individuals feel an irregular or rapid heartbeat. Palpitations in MVP are often due to arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular...

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...
