| Abstract | Uterine Prolapse (UP) is a form of genital prolapse among females. The heavy workload, under nutrition, delivery at a young age, lack of spacing between pregnancies and absence of trained birth attendees are expected to contribute to UP. Study is focused to determine the factors related to UP among married women of child bearing age (15-49 yrs) in Dang district of Nepal. Thus, a descriptive cross sectional study design has been adopted and household survey questionnaire is introduced among randomly selected 385 married women of child bearing age of ward number 1 and 2 of Saudiyar Village Development Committee (VDC) of Dang district of Nepal. Similarly, Key Informant Interview (KII) has been done with 6 social workers to collect qualitative information. Study had reported that out of the total 385 respondents; significant majority (97.7%) did not have uterine prolapse where as only 9 (2.3 %) of the women of child bearing age had uterine prolapse. Based in nature of data and due to small number of women suffering from UP, Fisher's Exact test has been done to test the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Significant relationship (p=0.021) has been observed between age of the child bearing women and occurrence of UP. However, there is not any significant relationship between the lifestyle related and access &utilization of health services factors with occurrence of uterine prolapse among the women of child bearing age. |
