In this day and age, with the advancement of treatments and the strong campaign to discourage home deliveries, chronic uterine inversion is now considered an uncommon but life-threatening obstetric condition. In this report, we present a case of a 17-year-old primipara, who sought consultation due to prolonged and heavy vaginal bleeding. Upon speculum examination, a knob-like, fleshy, hyperemic, smooth mass, approximately 6 cm × 5 cm × 4 cm, was seen occupying the upper third of the vaginal canal. On internal examination, a globular mass was felt protruding through the cervix, which bleeds easily on manipulation. Uterine corpus was neither appreciated on both abdominal and rectovaginal examination. The patient was admitted and managed as a case of chronic uterine inversion, which was further confirmed by a sonogram. Successful repositioning of the uterus was achieved after trying different established techniques and procedures in the attempts at maneuvering the chronically inverted uterus.
