Urethral mucosa prolapse in a post-partum patient

Abstract

A 23 year old Ugandan, Black, Mukiga, mother of two presented to us one year after delivery with severe lower abdominal pain, failure to pass urine, slight vaginal bleeding and a mass protruding from her vagina. Vaginal examination revealed she had a prolapsed urethral mucosa which was undergoing ischemic necrosis. Her condition was successfully treated by surgical excision of the prolapsed mucosa. The patient had no urinary, genital or other symptoms at 6 weeks, 6 months and at one and half years follow up. Keywords: Urethral, Mucosa, Prolapse, Post-partum patient
