Agree with you about the definition of uterine inversion but that's not Procidentia either. The Picture posted is a Total Uterine Prolapsus one. The uterine Shape can be seen in his entire parts: the cervix, the isthmus and the fondus protruding thru the vulva.

The picture posted here is Procidentia - the mucosal surface of the vagina is the outermost surface of the protusion.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
