An international urogynecological association (IUGA)/international continence society (ICS) joint report on the terminology for female pelvic floor dysfunction
Bernard T. Haylen,Dirk De Ridder,Robert Freeman,Steven Swift,Bary Berghmans,Joseph C. Lee,Ash Monga,Eckhard Petri,Diaa E. E. Rizk,Peter K. Sand,Gabriel N. Schaer +10 more
TL;DR: Next to existing terminology of the lower urinary tract, due to its increasing complexity, the terminology for pelvic floor dysfunction in women may be better updated by a female‐specific approach and clinically based consensus report.

TL;DR: A consensus-based terminology report for female pelvic floor dysfunction has been produced aimed at being a significant aid to clinical practice and a stimulus for research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifetime risk of undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.
TL;DR: There is a relatively high likelihood that a woman in Western Australia will undergo surgery for POP during her lifetime, and there is justification for a stronger evidence base for prevention, early detection and intervention to reduce the personal and societal costs of these gynecological conditions.

Pelvic Organ Support Study (POSST): The distribution, clinical definition, and epidemiologic condition of pelvic organ support defects
Steven Swift,Patrick Woodman,Amy L. O'Boyle,Margie Kahn,Michael Valley,Deirdre R. Bland,Wei Wang,Joe Schaffer +7 more
TL;DR: The results from this population suggest that there is a bell-shaped distribution of pelvic organ support in a gynecologic clinic population and Advancing age, Hispanic race, increasing body mass index, and the increasing weight of the vaginally delivered fetus have the strongest correlations with prolapse.

Correlation of symptoms with location and severity of pelvic organ prolapse.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the symptoms that are related to pelvic floor dysfunction with the location and severity of the coexisting pelvic organ prolapse, and found that women with pelvic organ dysfunction experience symptoms that do not necessarily correlate with compartment-specific defects.

The standardization of terminology of female pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor dysfunction
Richard C. Bump,Anders Mattiasson,Kari Bø,Linda Brubaker,John O.L. DeLancey,Peter Klarskov,Bob L. Shull,Anthony R. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: A standard system of terminology recently approved by the International Continence Society, the American Urogynecologic Society, and the Society of Gynecologic Surgeons for the description of female pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor dysfunction is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of surgically managed pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence.
TL;DR: Pelvic floor dysfunction is a major health issue for older women, as shown by the 11.1% lifetime risk of undergoing a single operation for pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, as well as the large proportion of reoperations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pelvic organ prolapse
TL;DR: No effective prevention strategy for prolapse has been identified, and considerations include weight loss, reduction of heavy lifting, treatment of constipation, modification or reduction of obstetric risk factors, and pelvic-floor physical therapy.

Injury to innervation of pelvic floor sphincter musculature in childbirth
TL;DR: The results of the study suggest that in most cases this incontinence results from damage to the innervation of the pelvic floor muscles.

Pelvic floor damage and childbirth: a neurophysiological study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that vaginal delivery causes partial denervation of the pelvic floor (with consequent re‐innervation) in most women having their first baby.
