| Summary: | Cervical elongation is a common complaint in perimenopausal and post-menopausal women, often associated with uterovaginal prolapse. However, isolated cervical elongation without uterovaginal prolapse is rare in adolescents and young reproductive-aged women. This case report details a 20-year-old girl presenting with cervical elongation without Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). A 2 cm portion of the cervix was protruding from the introitus. The cervix was firm, the uterus normal sized, fornices deep, and cervical length approximately 8 cm. Successful cervical amputation with new cervical lip formation was performed. Management of POP in young girls is challenging, lacking a gold standard surgical approach due to varied presentations across age groups. Counselling regarding surgical pros and cons is crucial. |
