Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common women’s health issue, particularly in the postmenopausal population. The etiology of POP is multifactorial with risk factors including vaginal delivery, parity, age, and body mass index (BMI). These risk factors are associated with injury to, or strain on, the pelvic floor musculature and connective tissue structures that provide support to the pelvic organs. A thorough history and physical exam can help screen for and assess the extent of POP. Treatment of POP consists of both conservative and surgical options. It is important for a women’s health provider to be able to discuss conservative management of POP with patients and help them navigate surgical options in conjunction with specialists. Comprehensive knowledge of the diagnosis and management of POP is essential for any provider in the field of women’s health.
