Background & Objective: Vaginal discharge caused by infection and inflammation could lead to premature rupture of the membranes, which increases the risk of premature labor. If not handled properly, preterm delivery elevates the neonatal mortality risk and morbidity rate. This study aims to know the relationship between uterine contractions with preterm.Materials & Methods: Observational research and cross-sectional design on pregnant women with vaginal discharge and without vaginal discharge based on criteria inclusion was gestational age 16–37 weeks, and exclusion criteria were pregnant women with a history of sexually transmitted diseases.Results: The results showed that there were 130 pregnant women, of whom 77 (59.23%) have vaginal discharge complaints, and 53 (40.77%) do not have vaginal discharge complaints. Most pregnant women were in their first pregnancy (primigravida) and with 29–36 weeks gestational age. Uterine contractions (his) occurred in 68.8% (P < /i>=0.000) of pregnant women with vaginal discharge complaints but did not occur in pregnant women without vaginal discharge complaints. Conclusion: Vaginal discharge in pregnancy carries the risk of uterine contractions, which may increase the incidence of preterm birth. To conclude, vaginal discharge in pregnancy has a relationship with preterm birth.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe clinical findings of prolapse of fallopian tube to vaginal vault following abdominal hysterectomy for multiple leiomyomas of uterine and to correlate it with other features.
Case Presentation: A patient with history of leiomyomas and abnormal uterine bleeding was admitted with abdominal pain and scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy. Intra operative inspection showed multiple leiomyomas of uterine. One year after operation of total abdominal hysterectomy, the patient presented with abdominal pain, dyspareunia, and purulent vaginal discharge and therefore, referred to our center for further evaluation. In the vaginal examination, a protruding red mass with fibrotic fimberia was observed. The right fallopian tube (FT) with its fimbria prolapsed to vaginal vault as a granulation tissue was removedfrom vaginal cuff and sent to pathology. The pathologist reported fallopian tube tissue. Post-operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on 2nd day of post hysterectomy with good general condition. Six-month follow-up showed abolished purulent discharge. The site of resected vaginal cuff was intact in vaginal examination.
Conclusions: Intra vaginal prolapse of the fallopian tube is a rare sequel of hysterectomy. Clinicians should be aware of this disregarded sequel when dealing with postysterectomy vaginal discharge.
