Uterine prolapse complicating pregnancy. A case report

Area of Science:

• Obstetrics and Gynecology
• Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

• Uterine prolapse is a condition where pelvic organs descend into or beyond the vaginal canal.
• Pregnancy presents unique challenges for managing uterine prolapse due to increased intra-abdominal pressure and hormonal changes.

Observation:

• A case of uterine prolapse occurring during pregnancy was managed conservatively.
• Treatment involved non-invasive methods such as strict bed rest and the use of a pessary device.

Findings:

• The patient delivered a viable infant at 30 weeks' gestation following premature rupture of membranes.
• Literature review indicates conservative management is often successful in achieving favorable pregnancy outcomes.

Implications:

• Conservative management of uterine prolapse in pregnancy appears safe and effective.
• This approach may help prevent complications and facilitate normal delivery, even in preterm scenarios.
