AB  - Urethral  prolapse  is  a  condition  that  only  occurs  in  females,  usually  in  school-aged  children.  Patients  will  present  with  painless  bleeding  and,  on  exam,  will  have  what  appears  as  swelling,  but  is  actually  the  prolapsed  portion  of  the  urethra.  Urethral  prolapse  is  commonly  mistaken  for  vaginal  injury.  The  etiology  is  unknown,  but  estrogen  deficiency  is  thought  to  be  a  contributing  factor.  Other  risk  factors  include  increased  intra-abdominal  pressure  that  results  from  coughing  or  constipation  and  anatomic  defects.  Urethral  prolapse  is  more  common  in  African  American  girls.
