Abstract

This article aims to report a rare case of a 38 years old Para 2 who was referred to the outpatient clinic of Vikash Multispecialty Hospital as a case of grade 3 uterovaginal prolapse with complaint of something coming out per vagina since 12 years. She also complained of heavy bleeding during menstruation, not responding to medical management since 2 years. Clinical and imaging studies lead to the diagnosis of anterior vaginal cyst, intramural fibroid and cervical polyp. After detailed counseling of the risks and benefits of surgical excision of the cyst with or without removal of uterus, she opted for removal of vaginal cyst and vaginal hysterectomy as she was tired of the medical management and had to undergo blood transfusion twice due to heavy menstrual bleeding. She had an uneventful postoperative period and was discharged in good condition on the third day. This case stresses on the importance of right diagnosis and proper management of the masses coming out of vagina as not everything which comes out of vagina is prolapse. Hesitancy in seeking medical care and lack of proper medical facilities, especially in rural areas in underdeveloped and developing countries, are among the major reasons these cases are unreported in medical literature.
