Abstract

Aim: To define the admission symptoms and complaints of cases with vaginal cuff prolapse Materials and Methods: A retrospective study between January 2019 – 2021 including 34 patients admitted to University of Health Science Turkey with the diagnosis of vaginal cuff prolapse. While patients who had grade < 3 vaginal cuff prolapse were accepted as early stage prolapse, patients with grade ≥ 3 vaginal cuff prolapse were accepted as advanced stage prolapse. Patients’ initial clinical symptoms and complaints at the time of admission were recorded. Results: The most common symptom in patients with vaginal cuff prolapse was pressure sensation in the vagina. Fecal incontinence was the least reported symptom. The prolapse symptom were higher in the advanced staged cuff prolapse group than in the early stage group (p<0,001). Difficulty in coitus and difficulty in urinating were more common in the advanced stage group than in the early stage group. Conclusion: Difficulty in coitus and difficulty in urinating symptom were found to be more common in the advanced stage cuff prolapse group than in the early stage group. Cuff prolapse is sometimes accompanied by urinary and gastrointestinal symptoms as well as sexual dysfunction and complaints of pain. Therefore, all the patients should be evaluated as a whole.
