Abstract
Objective: To document our experience with decubitus ulcers among women with utero-vaginal prolapse.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the National Obstetric Fistula Center, Abakaliki, South-East Nigeria. Medical records of women with utero-vaginal prolapse who had decubitus ulcers between June 2012 and May 2017 were reviewed. Data was analyzed using statistical methods.
Results: The mean age was 56.37±11.62 years. The mean parity was 6.89±2.57. Duration of prolapse ranged from 1 to 40 years. One hundred and seven (9.2%) had decubitus ulcers. The occurrence of decubitus ulcers increased with increasing age. Of those that had second and third degree utero-vaginal prolapse, 4.3% and 18.8% respectively had decubitus ulcers. Estrogen gel was used in the treatment of decubitus ulcers. All patients had vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair after the ulcer had healed.
Conclusion: Decubitus ulcers can complicate utero-vaginal prolapse. Its occurrence increases with increasing severity of utero-vaginal prolapse. Estrogen gel is effective in its treatment.
