    Complete uterine prolapse can cause severe kidney issues like hydronephrosis. Prompt treatment is vital to prevent lasting complications such as hypertension and renal failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Uterine prolapse is a condition where the uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
    • Severe cases can lead to complications affecting other organ systems.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of complete uterine prolapse with bilateral severe hydronephrosis were observed.
    • Hydronephrosis, a kidney swelling, resulted from obstruction likely caused by the prolapse.

    Findings:

    • Vaginal hysterectomy successfully relieved the urinary obstruction.
    • However, post-obstruction atrophy developed, leading to hypertension and moderate renal failure.

    Implications:

    • This case series highlights the critical need for early diagnosis and intervention in complete uterine prolapse.
