Abstract
ABSTRACT
An 80-year-old lady was brought with the three-month history of irreducible
prolapse with infected ulcer at anterior vaginal wall. She initially attempted
home remedies for infection with locally available materials. On examination she
was ill looking, febrile with stage IV prolapse according to pelvic organ prolapse
quantification classification. She was treated initially with antiseptic wash, followed
by local estrogen therapy and glycerine. Prolapse was repositioned when edema
decreased and held in place with silicon ring pessary with definitive management
planned for later date.
