Abstract

Pelvic floor dysfunction in women had been affecting women since many decades. Many reasons like multiple vaginal births, prolonged or obstructed labor during young age, women who had premature bearing down during labor, who do strenuous work, malnourished during young age are all prone to develop this dysfunction in their later ages. We report a 75 year old woman presenting with uterine prolapse since 12 years, with decubitus ulcer of 3*4 cm, on the anterior surface. The base of the ulcer was filled with multiple maggots which were managed conservatively with turpentine oil. After 3 months, the ulcer healed and vaginal hysterectomy was performed. We should try to remove the stigmata about the disease as early presentation to hospital can avoid complications and improve the lifestyle of older aged women.
