Anyone can say that the picture do not refer to a uterine inversion. ........http://www.pelvicfloor.com/library/library.html?show=yes&subcategoryid=7 Pelvic Floor Information - Straight from the hip! Mission StatementBookDiscussion ForumDocument LibraryImage LibraryOther Resources Disclaimer Category : Subcategory 1621:49:14 - Tuesday, October 24, 2000Procidentia. Total prolapse of the bladder and uterus to the outside of the body. A rectocele is almost always also present. This is a result of severe pelvic floor deficiency. Unfortunately it is quite common. See next image and commentary regarding classification and staging. 8221:25:35 - Tuesday, January 30, 2001Another example of complete eversion of the vagina. This is an example of stage IV prolapse. The leading edge of the prolapse is the uterine cervix. According to the International Continence Society's (ICS) classification system, this will be stage IV C Prolapse. It could further be described (according to the ICS), as: +3,+5,+7,+6,+3,+4,7,5,3. (This is only of interest to gynecologists and the patient does not have to concern herself with the classification system. Suffice to say, that this prolapse is as bad as it gets. http://www.pelvicfloor.com/library/library.html?show=yes&subcategoryid=7 Best Regards!

I learned that "procidentia" was exactly what was pictured - the complete prolase of the uterus - so the vagina is 100% "wrong side out" - just as it is in this picture. Are you saying that "procidentia" refers to any level of prolapse? We alwyas used procidentia for the total prolapse. I can learn new things. Can someone clarify this (since no textbook is near me at this moment!)
