Pelvic organ prolapse may adversely impact physical, sexual and emotional health. Women with symptomatic prolapse often experience altered bladder and bowel function, increased pelvic pressure, diminution of sexual satisfaction, and altered body image. With increasing vaginal descent, various bladder, bowel, and prolapse symptoms are increased. Approximately 200,000 women undergo inpatient proc...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether episiotomy, perineal laceration, and operative delivery are associated with pelvic floor disorders after vaginal childbirth. METHODS This is a planned analysis of data for a cohort study of pelvic floor disorders. Participants who had experienced at least one vaginal birth were recruited 5-10 years after delivery of their first child. Obstetric exposures were ...

Hypothesis / aims of study In view of the pathophysiology of pelvic floor defects, it is easy to understand that dystopia or prolapse should be investigated in close connnection to stress urinary incontinence (SUI), as both have a common pathophysiology: weak pelvic floor support. It seems clear that a patient with prolapse plus manifest SUI should be treated for both concomitantly. An issue ar...

T International Continence Society defines pelvic organ prolapse as any stage of prolapse greater than zero. If this definition is used, 27-98% of women will have pelvic organ prolapse at some point in their lives.1 It is estimated that women have an 11% lifetime risk of reconstructive surgery for prolapse, urinary incontinence or both, and a 29% risk of repeat surgery for these conditions.2 Al...

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is defined as the prolapse of the pelvic organs toward or through the vaginal opening as a result of the weakening of the combination of nerves, muscles and fascia, which normally protect and support the physical position of pelvic organs. In this case report, the 30-year old patient who applied with the pelvic prolapse through the vaginal opening was treated with Sa...

Aims: Pelvic floor disorders such as urinary incontinence and pelvic and genital prolapse affect sexual function and quality of life. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of anterior colporrhaphy and transobturator tape (TOT) surgeries on urinary incontinence and sexual function in women. Materials&Methods: This retrospective cohort clinical trial study was performed on 136 w...

Title: IMAGE BASED MEASUREMENTS FOR EVALUATION OF PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE

Pelvic floor dysfunctions involving some or all pelvic viscera are complex conditions that occur frequently and primarily affect adult women. Because abnormalities of the three pelvic compartments are frequently associated, a complete survey of the entire pelvis is necessary for optimal patient management, especially before surgical correction is attempted. With the increasing use of magnetic r...

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary tract infection (UTI) are important problems, estimated to affect around 14 and 40 % of women, respectively, at some point in their lives. Positive urine culture in the presence of symptoms is the cornerstone of diagnosis of UTI and should be performed along with ultrasound assessment of postvoid residual (PVR) in all women presenting with POP and UTI. PV...
