Study Notes

Cervix and Vaginal Prolapse in Ruminants and Pigs

Cervix and vaginal prolapse (CVP) is a disorder in late gestation in ruminants, sometimes after parturition, and rarely unrelated to pregnancy or parturition.
CVP is less frequent in pigs and can be recognized by the protrusion of varying parts of the vaginal wall and cervix through the vulva.
Hyperplasia of the vaginal mucosa may occur in some bitches at proestrus/oestrus, which may protrude through the vulva.
Financial costs of CVP include death, abortion, reduced fertility, and culling due to the possibility of recurrence.
Severity of CVP varies, with stage 1 being when the vaginal mucosa protrudes when the ewe is recumbent and disappears when she stands, stage 2 being when the protruding mucosa remains visible even when the ewe stands, and stage 3 being when the vagina protrudes and the cervix is visible.
Other classifications take into account the duration, size, and other organs involved in the prolapse.
The bladder is most frequently involved in CVP, followed by partial or complete constriction of the urethra causing urinary retention, and involvement of the uterine horns and intestines.
Predisposing factors for CVP include hormonal excesses and imbalances, hypocalcemia, large fetal load, fat/thin condition, inadequate exercise, short tail docking, bulky food, excess dietary fiber, dietary estrogens, sloping terrain, and vaginal irritation.
The exact cause of CVP is unknown, but there are several generally believed factors, including anatomical anchorage, excessive fat deposition, and endocrine imbalance.
Cattle of beef breeds, particularly Herefords, Simmentals, and Charolais, are most commonly affected.
Predisposition to CVP is inherited, and mechanical factors, such as intraabdominal pressure of late pregnancy and gravity, are significant.
Postparturient prolapse of the vagina in cattle is usually due to severe straining due to vaginal trauma or infection after a serious dystocia.
