ABSTRACT
In recent years, the problem of pelvic organ prolapse has been given much more attention. Many
women are living longer, and there is more interest in maintaining self-image of femininity and
the capacity of sexual activity beyond menopause. Although few data on the incidence or preva-
lence of various forms of pelvic organ prolapse exist, the incidence appears to be rising based on
increased longevity of women.
