Abstract:
Urethral prolapse is a rare and benign condition where the inner urethral lining protrudes through the external urethral opening. This condition is mostly seen in prepubertal and postmenopausal women. Risk factors include obesity, multiparity, and the onset of menopause. It has a low occurrence, resulting in frequent underdiagnosis. This is compounded by its typical delayed diagnosis. We present a case of a 71-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with persistent urinary symptoms. After multiple failed conservative treatments, she underwent a successful urethral prolapse excision. Our case highlights the importance of considering urethral prolapse as a differential diagnosis in a postmenopausal woman with continual urinary symptoms.
摘要:
尿道脱垂是一种罕见且良性的疾病,其中内尿道衬里通过外尿道口突出。这种情况主要见于青春期前和绝经后妇女。风险因素包括肥胖,多重奇偶校验,和更年期的开始。它的发生率很低,导致频繁的诊断不足。其典型的延迟诊断使其更加复杂。我们介绍了一例71岁的绝经后妇女,该妇女表现出持续的泌尿症状。在多次保守治疗失败后,她接受了成功的尿道脱垂切除术。我们的病例强调了在患有持续尿路症状的绝经后妇女中将尿道脱垂作为鉴别诊断的重要性。
