Abstract

Uterine prolapse is defined as descent of the uterus and cervix into or beyond the vagina. It is often caused by a weakness in the pelvic diaphragm and it is rarely diagnosed during pregnancy with the estimated incidence of 1 per 10,000 –15,000 deliveries. We report the case of a 30-year-old pregnant woman, gravida 5 para 3, who was presented with a total uterine prolapse who did not have regular antenatal follow-up. An elective caesarean section was performed at 38 weeks gestation and the prolapse persisted after delivery. In conclusion, uterine prolapse during pregnancy is a rare condition and may not complicate pregnancy.

Abstract

Prolapse uteri, uterus ve serviksin vajen giriminden dışarı çıkması olarak tanımlanır. Gebelikte oldukça nadir izlenir; insidansı 10.000-15.000 doğumda 1'dir. Biz bu olgu sunumu ile 30 yaşında gebelik sayısı 5 doğum sayısı 3 olan ve gebelikte prolapse uteri tanısı ile takip edilen, ancak gebelik takipleri düzensiz, gebelik boyunca herhangi ciddi bir problem yaşamayan ve 38. gebelik haftasında elektif sezaryen ile doğum yaptırdığımız olguyu sunacağız. Hastanın sezaryen ile doğum sonrasında uterus prolapse hali devam etti. Sonuç olarak prolapse uteri gebelikte nadir görülen ve ciddi bir komplikasyona yol açmayabilen bir durumdur.
