Pregnancy with Irreducible Utero-Vaginal Prolapse

Abstract

Pregnancy with uterine prolapse is a relatively rare condition. Irreducible prolapse occurring during pregnancy is even rarer. There is still a need for obstetricians to be aware about the management of uterine prolapse which allows for an uneventful pregnancy, labour and delivery. Here we present a case of a woman who developed irreducible uterine prolapse during pregnancy and the issues surrounding its management. We had to abort her pregnancy to reduce her prolapse which could otherwise have been life threatening.
