Mahua (Madhucalongifolia), whose fruit is used in the Vidarbha region for treating malarial fever in cattle. Liquor from the flower is used in western Maharashtra for a prolapsed uterus. (Herbs to heal cattle, https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/herbs-to--heal-cattle-46660) |
| PAS_2 |
In cows, treatment involves removing the placenta (if still attached), thoroughly cleaning the endometrial surface, and repairing any lacerations. Rubbing the surface of the uterus with glycerol helps reduce edema and provides lubrication. The uterus is then returned to its normal position. An epidural anesthetic should be administered first. If the cow is standing, the cleansed uterus should be elevated to the level of the vulva on a tray or hammock supported by assistants, and then replaced by applying steady pressure beginning at the cervical portion (or at the level of the invagination of the nonprolapsed uterine horn) and gradually working toward the apex. Once the uterus is replaced, a hand should be inserted to the tip of both uterine horns to be sure there is no remaining invagination that could incite abdominal straining and another prolapse. Installation of warm, sterile saline solution is useful to ensure complete replacement of the tip of the uterine horn without trauma. If recumbent, the cow should be positioned with the hindquarters elevated by placing her in sternal recumbency with the hindlegs extended backward. When elevating the hindquarters of the cow, care should be taken to lift the prolapsed uterus with the hindquarters to prevent stretching and laceration of the uterine artery.

| Disease Description |
Uterine prolapse is an emergency postpartum problem occurring within 24 h of parturition and resulting in death or serious complications in unattended cases. Poor myometrial contractions during the post-partum period and traction during difficult births are two postulated etiologies and low serum calcium appear to be a significant risk factor for uterine prolapse in buffaloes.

| Precautions |
Uterine prolapse commonly occurs within 2-24 h of calving yet it rarely occurs up to 72 h of calving. In a study on cows, uterine prolapse was observed within 6 days following parturition in the majority (95.45%) of the animals. (http://www.apjr.net/article.asp?issn=2305-0500;year=2018;volume=7;issue=6;spage=241;epage=247;aulast=Purohit#ref46) |
| Procedure of Use |
"When an animal suffers from prolapse of uterus after delivery. Sometimes insects cause infection which may result in the death of the animal. To cure this take a solution of Pottasium Permanganate and alum. Clean the uterus of the animal with this solution and settle it down, manually. After this take 500 grammes of the ash of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) and 500 grammes of the ash of the Leaves of fragrant manjack (Cordia dichotoma). Mix both the ingredients in two litres of water. Feed one litre of this decoction in the morning and one litre in the evening to the animal. This treatment gives relief to the animal from the disease. It does not cause prolapse of the uterus and is less expensive. He has learnt this method from his forefathers and 20 per cent of the people in his village use this remedy." |

| Global Context |
Prolapse of the uterus may occur in any species; however, it is most common in dairy and beef cows and ewes and less frequent in sows.
