Abstract

Congenital neonatal uterovaginal prolapse is a rare occurrence that is usually detected after delivery. Most cases are managed conservatively, although there are more invasive approaches to management. We report a case of a neonate with uterovaginal prolapse that we successfully managed conservatively. In this case, a vaginal plug made from a wet cotton ball and condom was inserted into the vaginal canal. To further reinforce the vaginal plug, a pressure garment was applied over the neonate's diaper. A trial of noninvasive methods that are simple and cost-effective should always precede other, more invasive methods in managing cases such as this.
