Complete uterine prolapse with anterior and posterior vaginal wall prolapse

Definition

A condition characterised by the displacement of the uterus from its normal position to at least one cm below the hymen, possibly up to complete eversion of the female genital tract, in association with herniation of both the bladder and the rectum into the vagina, due to tears in the tough fibrous wall between a woman's bladder and her vagina (the pubovesical fascia) and in the rectovaginal septum, a tough, fibrous, sheet-like divider between the rectum and vagina.
