But because of pregnancy, childbirth or difficult labor and delivery, in some women the muscles become weaken. And also, as the woman ages and also with a natural loss of the hormone oestrogen, the uterus can drop into the vaginal canal, this cause the condition which is known as prolapsed uterus.

AbstractDuring an outbreak of trichinellosis in Eastern Slovakia in 2008, 16 people were hospitalized, including 10 patients having specific anti-Trichinella antibodies. The disease relapse was seen in a 68-year-old woman two weeks after her discharge from hospital, where she was treated with albendazole and prednisone for 10 days. Clinical symptoms of trichinellosis, eosinophilia, elevated CRP and LDH levels were observed again with recorded elevation of aminotransferase levels during the relapse. Herein we discuss a potential cause of unusual relapse of trichinellosis with liver damage in a female patient with type II diabetes mellitus.
