Abstract
Uterine prolapse is the herniation of uterus into the vaginal wall along its axis mainly due to anatomical weakness. 50% of women present with uterine prolapse during routine gynaecological care. According to WHO, 91% of women (50-79 years) showed some degree of prolapse. In developing countries it is the most common indication for gynaecological surgery.To identify various obstetric etiologies and to evaluate the prevalence of uterine prolapse in women who attended gynaecological OPD in SLIMS. This is a hospital based cross sectional study carried out for 70 women who has uterine prolapse. This study was conducted in Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences from December 2016 to November 2017. A standardized data collection was used to review all outpatients. And the frequency of obstetrical factors is calculated. About 70 patients who attend the gynaecological OPD of SLIMS contribute to uterine prolapse during the study period. Out of which 57.1%of patients are postmenopausal women. The mean age of presentation is 54 years.Multiparous women havehigher chances of occurrence than grandmultipara. It is found that home delivery is also an important risk factor for uterine prolapse. By this study, the obstetrics determinants like age, parity, mode & placeof delivery, duration of labour are strong and the leading cause of uterine prolapse in later ages. Thereby it lies in the hand of the every health care professional to give proper antenatal and intranatal care to decrease theother gynaecological morbidity in the long run.
