BACKGROUND: Transvaginal evisceration following total vaginal hysterectomy secondary to coitus is extremely rare. CASE: A woman presented 10 months following a total vaginal hysterectomy with complaints of progressive postcoital abdominal and shoulder pain as well as a pinkish vaginal discharge. Examination revealed a 3-cm defect at the left edge of the vaginal cuff. Corrective surgery followed overnight observation with pain management. CONCLUSION: Postcoital vaginal cuff disruption is rare, and complications can range from bowel evisceration to hemorrhage. Management should be tailored to the severity of the complications.
