Abstract

In the course of clinical teaching, due to the lack of understanding of the relationship between the position of the uterus, the cervix, the vagina, many students even know the score generally, but it is difficult to clearly remember this important knowledge point. The application of this teaching method in different fields provides a new perspective of our clinical teaching. With the help of this hand-foot teaching method, we make full use of the flexibility of the hand to simulate the position relationship between the uterus, the cervix, and the vagina. The display of this straightforward anatomical relationship enables students to not only have a more specific understanding of the relevant knowledge of uterine prolapse, but also comprehensively learn that different treatment methods of uterine prolapse can have different effects on the quality of life of patients, and more realize the importance of active prevention. It also greatly improves the experience of the course and adds a little fun to the slightly boring degree of uterine prolapse.
