ABSTRACT

The urogenital prolapse is the descent of the pelvic organs beyond their usual position. This pathology is found mainly in older, postmenopausal and multiparous women. One sixth of patients who have urogenital prolapse, mainly uterine prolapse, may have some degree of hydronephrosis due principally to distal compression of the ureters, it is infrequent that they develop severe hydronephrosis. If hydronephrosis is left untreated it can progress to an acute renal failure and thus to a chronic renal failure. Hydronephrosis is the most serious complication of urogenital prolapsed, usually it is corrected by the surgery of urogenital prolapsed and reverses spontaneously in most cases. It is necessary a prompt diagnosis and treatment to avoid major complications for patients.
