Abstract

In present era, Uterine prolapse is a burning problem in gynaecological practice. Its prevalence is more than 50% of all the gynaecological conditions. About one third of women over the age of 50 i.e., menopausal age, is affected to some degree. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition characterized by the descent or herniation of pelvic organs from their normal site of attachment. It is common in postmenopausal women. Rarely, it develops in the younger age group as a complication of pregnancy. Prolapse may be persisting or relapsing after labour. It results from weakening or damage to pelvic supporting structures, which can occur generally throughout the vagina or at specific sites. This problem may develop after child birth, progression of age and injury to the muscles and organs situated there. Anything that causes increased pressure in the abdomen can lead to pelvic organ prolapse. Some common causes include: pregnancy, labour and childbirth (the most common cause) etc. At some extent uterine prolapse can be correlated with Prasramsini. Any irritation causes excessive vaginal discharge/ displacement and difficult/abnormal Labour.
