Uterine inversion is a rare medical emergency during childbirth in which the uterus turns inside out and protrudes through the cervix and into or through the vagina. Uterine inversion can cause severe blood loss that may be life threatening.
The uterus may be inverted if the placenta is firmly attached and doctors pull hard to remove it.
Occasionally, surgery is required to return the uterus to its normal position.
