Pelvic organ prolapse.

Authors: Brittany Star, Hampton;

Pelvic organ prolapse.

Abstract

Pelvic organ prolapse can encompass a range of disorders, from asymptomatic, altered anatomy to complete eversion of the vagina and may present with associated urinary, defecatory, and sexual dysfunction. Patient symptoms are important to elicit, because many patients with prolapse are asymptomatic. Ascertaining patient treatment goals is necessary when discussing options for management, and patients can choose from conservative, noninvasive treatment and prevention to surgical reconstruction. As comparable data for prolapse operations are poor, surgical route is determined based on the type and severity of prolapse, surgeon preference, and desired outcome.
