 Question: A female patient has a history of a retroverted uterus. This condition refers to:



the normal position of the uterus and cervix.a tilting backward of the uterus and cervix. Correcta

backward angulation of the uterus in relation to its cervix.the cervix being located at the introitus and

the uterus in the vaginal canal.



Explanation: Retroversion of the uterus refers to a tilting backward of the entire uterus, including

both body and cervix. It is a common variant occurring in approximately 20% of women. A backward

angulation of the uterus in relation to its cervix is referred to as a retroflexion of the uterus. When the

cervix is located at the introitus, and the uterus is in the vaginal canal, this is consistent with a third-

degree uterine prolapse.


 Question: Upon examination of the vagina, the entire anterior vaginal wall, together with

the bladder and urethra create a bulge. This condition is most consistent with a:



prolapse of the urethral mucosa.urethral caruncle.cystocele.cystourethrocele. Correct



Explanation: When the entire anterior vaginal wall, together with the bladder and urethra, is involved

in the bulge, a cystourethrocele is present. A cystocele is a bulge of the upper two-thirds of the anterior

vaginal wall and the bladder above it. It results from weakened supporting tissues. A prolapsed urethral

mucosa forms a swollen red ring around the urethral meatus. A urethral caruncle is a small, red, benign

tumor visible at the posterior part of the urethral meatus.
