"Farmer Manibhai Patel of district Kheda treat prolapse of uterus in cattle. To cure the prolapsed uterus, 500 gram leaves of sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) are fed to the affected animal as a single dose. This gives immediate relief, within two hours, to the animal. Then the prolapsed part of uterus is cleaned and pushed inside. Once it is in place the uterus does not come out again. Some farmers apply the leaf extract of sensitive plant on the uterus, which also cures prolapse. "

Prolapse of uterus

Disease Description
|
Prolapse of the uterus is a common complication of the third stage of labour in the cow. In the ruminant species the prolapse is generally a complete inversion of the gravid cornu, while in the sow and the bitch inversion is generally partial and comprises one horn only. The occurrence seems to be affected by seasonal as well as regional factors, the condition being commoner in some years and in some localities. Multigravida (of the dairy breeds) are more often involved than are heifers. In the majority of instances the prolapse occurs within a few hours of an otherwise normal second-stage labour, although in some it may be delayed several days. In the latter group the condition is generally associated with a grossly protracted and assisted labour. Rarely, where delivery is achieved by heavy traction, the uterus prolapses immediately after the calf is withdrawn.
