New Delhi: Doctors in Bengaluru on Tuesday, August 20, successfully treated a 39-year-old mother of two with stage III uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus slips out of its normal position.  Her condition was so advanced that her uterus was protruding through the vagina, a rare occurrence for someone her age, as this typically happens post-menopause. The patient had been independently managing her household responsibilities, including heavy lifting, which worsened her condition. Her symptoms included severe back pain, chronic lower abdominal pain, discomfort between her thighs due to the bulging, and difficulty emptying her bladder, which could have led to kidney swelling. These symptoms significantly disrupted her daily life and well-being. After four years of suffering and multiple recommendations for a hysterectomy from various hospitals, she sought a less invasive alternative, hoping for a breakthrough.
