BACKGROUND: Uterine prolapse in pregnancy is rare and can either occur during pregnancy or be present before the pregnancy. We present a case of a successful pregnancy in a patient with preexisting uterine procidentia. CASE: A 44-year-old woman with a history of complete uterine prolapse presented with an unplanned pregnancy. Upon initial presentation at 15 weeks she had uterine prolapse with cervical elongation that protruded 10 cm past the introitus. The prolapse persisted until about 30 weeks, during which it was conservatively managed with bed rest, knee-chest positions and local treatment of the desiccated cervix with emollients. The patient had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery and underwent a vaginal hysterectomy, anterior-posterior repair and a sacrospinous ligament fixation a few months later. CONCLUSION: Uterine prolapse in pregnant women with preexisting prolapse will probably resolve in the third trimester without treatment. An otherwise uncomplicated course and a vaginal delivery can be expected. |
