Genital prolapse is the relaxation of the supporting structures of the pelvic floor. Significant morbidity can be associated if left untreated. Patients can elect to have surgical repair of their prolapse or use a pessary. The more significant the pelvic organ prolapse the more difficult it is to manage with pessary support. The case study in this article describes such a patient and the challenges we faced with managing her advanced genital prolapse.
生殖器脱垂是盆底支持结构的松弛。如果不治疗,可能会导致严重的发病率。患者可以选择进行脱垂的手术修复或使用子宫托。盆腔器官脱垂越严重,使用子宫托支撑就越困难。本文的病例研究描述了这样一位患者以及我们在处理她的晚期生殖器脱垂时所面临的挑战。
