“…This study revealed prevalence of symptomatic prolapse, similarly to the global estimates (3-6%) and there is no recognizable variation in reports considering methodological differences [4]. However, the result of this study (6.6%) is less than another study conducted in Nepal which shows 13% prevalence rate [14].…”

Background: Uterine Prolapse is an important but one of the most neglected public health problems causing maternal morbidity and mortality among women of reproductive age in developing countries including Ethiopia. However, yet few data are available with respect to uterine prolapse. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of, and factors associated with uterine prolapse among women of reproductive age.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Loma Woreda, Dawro southwest Ethiopia, from November to December 2019. A total of 422 randomly selected women of reproductive age were participated in the study. Data were collected by face-to-face interview with pre-structured questionnaire and clinical diagnoses were carried out. Epi data 3.2.1 and SPSS version 24 were used for data entry, processing and analysis. Binary Logistic regression was used to find out the association between dependent and independent variables. Variables with P-value less than 0.25 in bivariate logistic regression were further examined using multivariate logistic regression to investigate an association between dependent variable and independent variables. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 35.4 years (±7.994 SD). This study identified that the prevalence of symptomatic and anatomical uterine prolapse was 6.6 %(28) and 5.9%(25) respectively. The prevalence of anatomical prolapse was used as a reference when determining the associated factors. Age at first marriage (AOR: 0.25, 95%CI (0.07, 0.89), place of delivery (AOR: 3.33, 95%CI (1.21, 9.13), birth attendant assisted delivery (AOR 0.21; 95%CI (0.06, 0.71) and history of abortion (AOR: 2.94, 95%CI (1.08, 7.97) were found to have significantly and independently associated with prevalence of uterine prolapse. Conclusion: Uterine prolapse is common among women of reproductive age group age at first marriage, place of delivery, birth attendant assisted delivery, and history of abortion were found to be independent predictors of prevalence of uterine prolapse.

“…The findings of this study are similar to the study conducted by Singh et.al where age of having first child was significantly associated with the knowledge on uterine prolapsed and the level of knowledge was not significant with type of occupation. [6] In this study, there is no significant association between the level of knowledge and the level of education. This finding is supported by the similar study conducted by Shrestha et al in 25 districts of Nepal revealing that the level of education was not associated with the level of knowledge.…”

“…[5] In one of the studies conducted to assess knowledge of uterine prolapse, it was revealed that 46.5% of respondents had adequate and 53.5% had inadequate knowledge about risks factors of uterus prolapse. [6] Though various studies have been conducted on POP related topics in hilly regions and the eastern or western part of Nepal, very few have been conducted regarding awareness of POP in Terai and central part of Nepal. Thus, the study aims to assess the awareness regarding POP among women.…”
