A. General Objectives After establishing Nurse-Patient Interaction, thorough physical assessment, providing care to the client and study of the clients condition, student will gain knowledge, develop skills and enhance attitude through the utilization of the nursing process on the care and management of the patient with Uterine Inversion.
B. Specific Objectives:
On completion of this case study the student will be able to: Understand what is Uterine Inversion Identify its clinical manifestations Recapitulate the anatomy and physiology of the parts involved Determine the health status of the patient through: General and Demographic Data History of Present Illness Past Medical History Family Health History Physical Examination
Establish a good and therapeutic nurse patient relationship To build trusting relationship with both the patient and significant others Utilize skills in performing physical examination to the patient Analyze laboratory results and correlate it with patients present condition Familiarize self to some medical and diagnostic procedures related to the patients present condition Trace the pathophysiology of the disease Determine the relevance of the drugs or medication to the patient
Formulate nursing diagnosis and provide necessary nursing management and interventions Determine the rationale behind the applied nursing interventions Render quality-nursing care through implementation of the Nursing Care Plan Evaluate effectiveness of Nursing Care Plan and medical management Provide continuity of care by giving health teachings not only to patient but also as well the Significant Others
Pregnancy corresponds a lot of complications and most of them are serious and fatal. One of the serious complications of pregnancy is Uterine Inversion. The underlying pathophysiologic mechanism for uterine inversion is unknown. Several clinical observations and associations are pertinent. Clinically, the principal factors that predispose to puerperal inversion are a fundally implanted placenta, flaccidity of the myometrium around the implantation site, and a dilated, immediately post partum cervix.
If left untreated, it will risk the mothers health. Early diagnosis and management will give a good prognosis of uterine inversion.
The uterus or womb is a major female hormoneresponsive reproductive sex organ of most mammals including humans. One end, the cervix, opens into the vagina, while the other is connected to one or both fallopian tubes, depending on the species. It is within the uterus that the fetus develops during gestation, usually developing completely in placental mammals such as humans and partially in marsupials such as kangaroos and opossums.

in sexual response by directing blood flow to the pelvis and to the external genitalia, including the ovaries, vagina, labia, and clitoris; needed for uterine orgasm to occur. to accept a fertilized ovum which passes through the utero-tubal junction from the fallopian tube; it implants into the endometrium, and derives nourishment from blood vessels which develop exclusively for this purpose. The fertilized ovum becomes an embryo, attaches to a wall of the uterus, creates a placenta, and develops into a fetus (gestates) until childbirth.

inside the pelvis immediately dorsal (and usually somewhat rostral) to the urinary bladder and ventral to the rectum. pear-shaped and about 3 in. (7.6 cm) long. four segments: fundus, corpus, cervix and the internal os
From outside to inside, the path to the uterus is as follows: Cervix uteri - "neck of uterus" External orifice of the uterus Canal of the cervix Internal orifice of the uterus corpus uteri - "Body of uterus" Cavity of the body of the uterus Fundus (uterus)
Endometrium

Parametrium
in
the middle of the pelvic cavity in frontal plane (due to ligamentum latum uteri). The fundus does not surpass the linea terminalis, while the vaginal part of the cervix does not extend below interspinal line. The uterus is mobile and moves under the pressure of the full bladder or full rectum anteriorly, whereas if both are full it moves upwards.

Definition Uterine prolapse occurs when pelvic floor muscles and ligaments stretch and weaken, providing inadequate support for the uterus. The uterus then descends into the vaginal canal. Uterine prolapse often affects postmenopausal women who've had one or more vaginal deliveries. Damage to supportive tissues during pregnancy and childbirth, effects of gravity, loss of estrogen, and repeated straining over the years all can weaken your pelvic floor and lead to uterine prolapse.
Sensation
of heaviness or pulling in your pelvis Tissue protruding from your vagina Urinary difficulties, such as urine leakage or urine retention Trouble having a bowel movement Low back pain Feeling as if you're sitting on a small ball or as if something is falling out of your vagina Sexual concerns, such as sensing looseness in the tone of your vaginal tissue Symptoms that are less bothersome in the morning and worsen as the day goes on
Pregnancy
and trauma incurred during childbirth, particularly with large babies or after a difficult labor and delivery Loss of muscle tone associated with aging and reduced amounts of circulating estrogen after menopause Tumor in the pelvic cavity Genetics

Lifestyle
changes Achieve and maintain a healthy weight, to minimize the effects of being overweight on supportive pelvic structures. Perform Kegel exercises, to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Avoid heavy lifting and straining, to reduce abdominal pressure on supportive pelvic structures. Vaginal pessary Surgery to repair uterine prolapse
Maintain
a healthy weight. Practice Kegel exercises. repeatedly squeeze and relax the muscles of your pelvic floor. To perform these exercises, tighten your pelvic muscles as if you're stopping your stream of urine. Hold for a count of five, relax and repeat. Do these exercises several times a day. Control coughing. Don't smoke.
