pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse, pelvic organ prolapse
PROLAPSE
This study shows a representative picture of pelvic floor symptoms in the long-term after hysterectomy. It is important to note that pelvic floor dysfunction is multifactorial and is not always related to the presence of pelvic organ prolapse. Furthermore, treating the prolapse will not always resolve the symptoms. Even in the non-medical-care-seeking cohort, there is a high frequency of severe pelvic floor symptoms. We consider optimal pelvic floor management to include increasing awareness about prevention of POP, PFS and (conservative) treatment options amongst women at time of hysterectomy.
