Abstract

Cervico-vaginal prolapse is an obstetrical emergency commonly encountered in late gestation and the postpartum period, often attributed to hormonal imbalances, increased abdominal pressure, or hereditary predisposition. This report presents a case of a 4-year-old crossbred cow with a history of chronic recurrent cervico-vaginal prolapse. The condition worsened following accidental calving through an already sutured vulva, resulting in extensive lacerations and mucosal degeneration. Common treatment approaches did not help to repair the tissues. The prolapsed mass was cleaned, reposed, and retained under epidural anaesthesia. Deep vaginal tears and vulvar mucosal injuries were treated with placental extract gel (Placentrex) along with systemic antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and corticosteroid therapy. Topical antiseptics were used for external wound care. Significant healing was observed within 10 days, and complete tissue recovery occurred in 20 days. This case highlights successful management of post-calving vulvar lacerations in a cow with recurrent cervico-vaginal prolapse, emphasizing the potential role of placenta extract gel in promoting mucosal healing.
