POP is classified as a cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse, enterocele or vault prolapse. The prevalence of POP, based on a clinical evaluation, in general population of females was considered to be more than 30%, while prevalence based on vaginal bulge symptoms ranged between 5 and 10%. Symptomatic POP may cause substantial discomfort, lower quality of life and restrict daily activities. An estimated lifetime cumulative risk of 7-11% POP surgery has been reported and reoperation is common. Prevention and diagnosis of early symptoms is important. The incidence rate of POP stage ≥II is estimated to be between 18-56% 3 to 6 months’ postpartum. Pregnancy, childbirth, and heavy lifting can weaken the structure of the vagina and cause POP. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of symptoms and the degree of prolapse. Conservative management includes lifestyle advice, pessary, pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training (PFMT), biofeedback, electrical stimulation, to mention some of the common interventions, and these are usually adopted for mild to moderate degrees of POP. Evidence suggests pessary and PFMT are also effective first-line treatments for women ABSTRACT","PeriodicalId":92832,"journal":{"name":"Pelviperineology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70001004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of faecal incontinence is high. In the literature the prevalence is: 7-15% in the general population, in hospitals up to 30% and in nursing homes up to 70%. The number of unreported cases is probably higher, as patients do not report it spontaneously and most doctors do not specifically ask about faecal incontinence routinely during the medical history survey. The causes that lead to faecal incontinence are manifold. Local anatomical changes affecting the sphincter ani, pelvic floor muscles, ligaments, fascia and their visceral and somatic innervations can be causes of faecal incontinence. Diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system can also cause defecation problems and faecal incontinence. Accurate anamnesis, examinations such as perineal sonography, anorectal manometry, rectoscopy, digital rectal examination, as well as the dynamic pelvic floor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are important assessment tools for the anatomy and function of the anal canal.2 Therapy modalities vary from conservative to surgical.

Its most recognizable symptom is dyspareunia, and it is characterized by extreme symmetric sensitivity at the vestibule, close to the hymenal base. This concealed location of sensitivity has made diagnosis difficult and has led to myths regarding the development of PV, involving hurtful statements like “it is all in your head.” Recent research has proven that the pain arises from local, organic, and vestibular sensitivity. Approximately 50% women with PV experience sensitivity only in the posterior half of the vestibule. The others have both anterior and posterior allodynia.

Traditionally, two types of urinary catheters are used. Transurethral catheters, that would remain in place for at least 24 hours to avoid acute post-operative urinary retention (AUR), and suprapubic catheters, placed through the abdomen to reduce the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI).
