- After prolonged and/or traumatic vaginal delivery an edematous cervix or an inverted uterus may prolapse through the introitus.
- Uterine inversion is commonly the result of unsuccessfull attempt to deliver the placenta by harsh traction on the umbilical cord
- Cervical prolapse and uterine inversion are treated the same
- Remove placenta if still attached
- Apply steady manual pressure to the prolapsed part
- Continue untill prolapsed part is compeletely reduced
- The prolapsed part will remain in place after reduction
- No futher action needed
