Introduction:Urethral prolapse is a rare presentation. Among all the age groups it is commonly seen in prepubertal
age. Most cases are asymptomatic, but if they present, the most common presentation is vaginal
bleeding. We present a case of a 5 year old girl who presented with vaginal bleeding and a mass in the
vulva. Examination under anaesthesia was done and final diagnosis was made as urethral prolapse Conservative medical management was planned, with daily sitz bath along with local application of
topical antibiotic and estrogen cream. The mass decreased in size within 3 weeks and the bleeding
was completely subsided. Urethral prolapse can be managed conservatively in young and
uncomplicated cases. Though surgery is the treatment of choice with minimal chance of
recurrence, each case should be individualized and treated.
