ABSTRACT

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common finding especially in parous women who have delivered vaginally. It has been calculated that up to 50% of parous women have some degree of pop, but only 10%–20% seek help for their condition [1]. The prevalence of pop is not well known as the data reported vary significantly according to the criteria utilized in various studies, ranging from 3% to 50%. In fact, pop when defined by symptoms has a prevalence of 3%–6%, and it rises up to 50% when based upon vaginal examination [2].
