A lady with prolapsed uterus after Fothergill’s repair will complain of following except:
Correct Answer: First trimester abortion
Description: In Fothergill's repair ceroidical amputation is done which leads to
Incompetent os
Habitual abortion (second-trimester abortion and not first trimester, as incompetent os, leads to second-trimester abortion)
Preterm deliveries
Premature rupture of membranes
Other complications are decreased cervical fertility
Excessive fibrosis causes stenosis leading to dystocia during labour.
Hematometra (Very rare)
Recurrence of prolapse
Note: Since all these complications of Fothergill's are mainly due to amputation of cervix-Shirodkar's modification of Fothergill's operation (also called as Shirodkar's uterosacral ligament advancement surgery), is being done where amputation of the cervix is not done, rest all steps are same as Fothergill's repair.
