Uterine Prolapse: A Literature Review

Uterine prolapse is a condition where the uterus slips out of its normal position. 35-60 % of women those who have given birth developed uterine prolapse, Surgery is often required to treat uterine prolapse, but unfortunately, and up to 35% of those who undergo surgery will require repeat surgery. Uterine prolapse can occur even after a hysterectomy, which suggests that the current surgical management may not be effective in all cases. The prevalence of uterine prolapse is likely to increase with increasing life expectancy, as women live longer and are more likely to experience symptoms associated with aging. There are two main types of uterine prolapse: Incomplete prolapse: the uterus slips partway into the vagina, creating a limp or bulge. Complete prolapse: the uterus slips so far out of place that some of the tissue drops outside of the vagina. Uterine prolapse is one type of pelvic organ prolapse, which is a condition where one or more of the organs in the pelvis (such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum) slip out of their normal position. It’s great that you're highlighting the importance of finding more effective treatments for uterine prolapse, as it can significantly impact a woman's quality of life.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Uterine Prolapse in Achham District, Nepal

Uterine Prolapse (UP) is one of the hidden morbidities that do not lead to death, but women suffer from severe lifelong disabilities. In Nepal, the prevalence of UP in women varies from 10 to 40% due to several underlying causes. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to identify the prevalence and associated risk factors of UP. This community-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 married women aged 18 and over in four villages of Kamal Bazar Municipality, Achham, who suffered from UP. The random sampling technique was used to collect the data. The samples were selected using multistage sampling technique. The structured interview questionnaire was used and the face-to-face interview was conducted. The data were analyzed using MS-Excel and SPSS version 23. The statistical tests used were binary logistic regression, univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The prevalence of UP was 33.7%. In the multivariate analysis, participants aged 20-30 were forty one times more likely to suffer from UP than older participants of 50-60 {aOR 41.86 (95% CI; 14.31-122.45)}, were seven times more likely to have not attended health facilities for Antenatal Checkup/Postnatal Checkup (ANC/PNC) {aOR 7.10 (95% CI; 3.53-14.26)}, were less likely to have institutional delivery {aOR 0.13 (95% CI; 0.05-0.31)} and were three times more likely to have high Body Mass Index (BMI) {aOR 3.97 (95% CI; 1.81-8.71)}. Thus, the participants who hadn’t attended ANC/PNC checkups, had given birth at home, or had a high BMI, were more likely to have suffered from UP. Education is necessary to make people aware of UP at an early age and its impact is seen among people of a lower age inthe area.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Uterine Prolapse among Gynecologic Patients at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia

Introduction: Uterine prolapse is one of the most common cause of reproductive health morbidity, particularly among adults and old women in developing countries. There is limited information on the magnitude and associated risk factors of uterine prolapse in Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the factors of uterine prolapse. Materials and methods: Hospital based retrospective study was conducted at University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital, Northwest, Ethiopia from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2019. Computer based simple random sampling technique was used to select patient‘s cards. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. Statistical differences were considered at P<0.05. Results: The overall prevalence of uterine prolapse during the study period was 91(22.3%). Age (COR=5.12; 95% CI: 2.05, 12.78), residence (COR=5.83; 95% CI:2.66, 12.78), abortion history (COR=4.77; 95% CI:1.72, 13.23) and place of delivery (COR=2.76; 95% CI:1.14 6.69, 13.23) were factors significantly associated with uterine prolapse. Conclusions: This study reveals that nearly one fourth of women suffer with uterine prolapse. This finding indicated that uterine prolapse is a major public health issue in Ethiopia. Therefore, the local government should give emphasis for older and rural women. Health institution delivery should also be advocated to minimize the proportion of home deliveries.

Risk Factors and Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse: Reality of Nepali Women

The aim of the review was to explore the risk factors and symptoms of uterine prolapse (UP) experienced by Nepali women. The literature review was completed by making use of Pub med, Google Scholar, and Medscape. The prevalence of uterine prolapse was found to be in the range of 10?40%. The grass root causes of UP in Nepal are poverty, illiteracy and male dominated social structure. These causes gender based discrimination, inaccessibility to health services, poor nutrition, early marriage, early pregnancy, multi parity in the need of son, work load during pregnancy and postnatal period, domestic violence, home deliveries, lack of awareness about UP, shyness to explain about reproductive health related problems which in turn leads to uterine prolapse. Women suffering from UP start experiencing a variety of physical symptoms like back ache, difficulty in standing, sitting and walking, difficulty in lifting, vaginal foul smelling discharge/ itching, sore or ulcer in protrusion of tissue, painful intercourse, burning micturition, urinary incontinence, difficulty in passing stool, etc. The psycho?social dimension of life is also affected by having UP. These symptoms affects almost every aspect of women’s daily living hence creating role limitation, physical limitations, social limitations, personal limitations and also psychology of sufferer. All of these finally have direct impact on the quality of life of the women.

Prolapso genital en una gestante con antecedente de accidente de tráfico y lesión perineal severa

The association between genital prolapse and pregnancy is more common in the second half of pregnancy and is often corrected after childbirth. There are no data on the incidence or prevalence of uterine prolapse from the beginning of pregnancy or on those developing during the course of pregnancy or in the postpartum.We present the case of a 35-year-old woman in her third pregnancy who was diagnosed with a third-grade prolapse that occurred as a result of a traffic accident causing a perineal injury before conception. We describe the management of this entity during pregnancy and the route of delivery.

Uterine prolapse in rural Nepal: Gender and human rights implications. A mandate for development

This paper describes the contribution of gender beliefs and gender-skewed cultural practices to the high prevalence of uterine prolapse among rural women in Nepal. In conditions of difficult geography, inadequate health services and underdevelopment, the pre-natal period is marked by a heavy workload, a low rate of pre-natal care, and restrictions on a woman's own health decision-making. Delivery is often facilitated by untrained assistants using push and pull methods that may cause pelvic damage. The recovery period after delivery is defined by ethnic prescriptions and household needs that disregard the woman's physical readiness to resume work. The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the most central and comprehensive of the United Nations documents for the advancement of women, mandates that cultural beliefs and practices that are injurious to women must be modified. Reproductive health interventions can legitimately challenge the social causation of uterine prolapse as part of a broad prevention strategy.
