Abstract

The common prepartum and postpartum complication encountered in bovine species are vagino-cervical prolapse (VCP) and total uterine prolapse (TUP). In other species incidence of genital prolapse is rarely reported. Still debate for causes of genital prolapse is unpredictable. Reports from researcher revealed most probable cause for genital prolapse is hypocalcaemia associated with hormonal imbalance. Prolapse of the floor, the lateral walls and a portion of the roof of the vagina through the vulva with the cervix and uterus moving caused. Protrusion or eversion of the uterus through vulva is called as uterine prolapse. The present overview explained about incidence, aetiology, clinical signs and management of genital prolapse in animals. General management for prolapse includes 10 'R' principles that can be described in the present overview.  Keywords: Genital prolapse, prepartum, postpartum, 10 'R' principle, Buhner sutureCite this ArticleThangamani A, Srinivas M, Prasad BC.
