DIAGNOSES: Stage 2 cystocele, stage 3 uterine prolapse, and stage 2 rectocele, pelvic trauma history. INTERVENTIONS: The woman was successfully managed with the Gellhorn size 2 pessary use. OUTCOMES: The short-term effect of pessary use was significant improvement. LESSONS: This is the first case report of the successful use of a pessary for POP after pelvic trauma in a nulliparous young female.
