Abstract : 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.

Keywords : Uterus, Prolapse, Vagina, Hysterectomy, Cervix.
