Idiopathic Non-puerperal Uterine Inversion in a Young Female: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

Non-puerperal uterine inversion is extremely unusual among adolescent females. To our knowledge this is the first case to be reported in such a young patient without an identifiable cause. Chronic menorrhagia, abdominal pain, and episodes of acute urinary retention were the patient’s primary symptoms. Most recorded cases of uterine inversion have recognised causes, but the aetiology in this case was idiopathic, contributing to its rarity. The clinical and radiological evaluations first showed a cervical polyp, but magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis was critical in verifying the uterine inversion. This case report emphasizes the diagnostic challenges of uterine inversion, which become considerably more difficult when dealing with young patients. Manual repositioning is the most common treatment for uterine inversion, and surgery is considered if manual repositioning is not possible.
