Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is described as the herniation of pelvic organs. POP generally occurs at postmenopausal age. Multiparity, increased intraabdominal pressure (e.g., bearing heavy weights, exerting physical effort), obesity, advanced age, menopause, prolonged labor, and smoking constitute prevailing risk factors of POP. It is seen rarely in nulliparous women. The main risk factors in nulliparous women are inherent defects in pelvic support. Nabothian cysts are benign entities in nature. They usually dissolve spontaneously and do not cause any clinical symp-toms in routine practice. Nabothian cysts that cause POP are very rare in clinical practice. In this case report, we present the management of a large nabothian cyst causing POP in a 20-year-old patient without any prior intercourse.
