Abstrakt:	Uterine prolapse (UP) is common in Nepal, with reported prevalence varying from 9 percent to 42 percent of women. Women with serious UP report deep shame and social, health, or economic hardship. This article reports on field research into knowledge and awareness of UP, effects on women and families, outcomes of a hysterectomy, knowledge of UP avoidance, and the potential for hysterectomy recipients to contribute to community education.
