ABSTRACT

It is well-known that multiparity and advanced ages are major risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse which can rarely complicate pregnancy. We present the youngest case of uterine prolapse during pregnancy. She admitted with ruptured membranes at the 36th week of gestation and irreducible prolapse. As the edematous and thick, trapped and ulcerated cervix was not reducible, labor was obstructed due to cervical dystocia and a cesarean delivery was decided. A live male infant weighing 3100 gram was delivered. Prolapsed uterus recovered spontaneously just after the cesarean operation. Uterine prolapse during pregnancy should be managed conservatively. It seems to be essential to do elective cesarean section because of possible obstructed labor risk. We observed rapid recovery of the anatomy probably due to young age.
