“…Nurses with more severe symptoms were obese and had lower job satisfaction and more intention to leave their current job (P < .001) it is well documented that these disorders do not take place in isolation. 1,3,8,9 Furthermore, PFD affects wo-menʼs QoL, with significant increases in depression, embarrassment, and social isolation, as highlighted in the selected studies, with the impact on different aspects of life contributing to the growing socioeconomic and health problems of PFD for society. 8,28 Therefore, PFD, either alone or combined, has been studied in specific populations that present greater risk, such as women, older adults, and nursing staff.…”

“…Female pelvic floor dysfunctions (PFDs) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) include a variety of symptoms, such as urinary incontinence (UI), stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). 1,2 Other LUTSs include bladder storage, voiding, and postmicturition symptoms, 1,3 while female PFDs incorporate pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and sexual and anorectal dysfunction symptoms, including anal incontinence and constipation. 1,2 Pelvic floor dysfunctions and LUTS are important public health issues due to their high prevalence.…”

Aim To investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and impact of pelvic floor dysfunctions in female nurses. Design A systematic review. Data Sources Searches were conducted in the following five electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, LILACS, SCIELO, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. There were no period or language limitations. Review Methods Data extraction and synthesis were conducted and the appraisal of the quality of the studies was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool checklist for prevalence data. Results A total of 15 studies were included. The symptoms investigated were lower urinary tract symptoms, including urinary incontinence and its subtypes, sexual dysfunctions, constipation, faecal incontinence, and dual incontinence. Overall, prevalence ranged from 9.9% to 89.6%. Associated factors related to occupational roles were lifting heavy weights and poor bladder habits. Quality of life was significantly worse for nurses with pelvic floor disorders. Conclusion Pelvic floor dysfunctions are very common among female nurses, considerably affecting their quality of life. Additional studies are needed to investigate the impact on work productivity, causal relationships with the occupation and the performance of prevention and treatment interventions directed toward this population.

“…Prevalence of symptom base POP among Emirati women estimated 26.9% by Elbis et al [13]. While Horst et al [14] showed that prevalence of POP with using of pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) measurement system is more than 50%. Due to different prevalence and risk factors extracted from different studies, the present study aimed to assessment prevalence and defining risk factor of UI/AI as well as POP among healthy postmenopausal women.…”

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Urinary/Anal Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse in Healthy Middle-Aged Iranian Women

Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) and anal incontinence (AI) cause concern, social exclusion, and ultimately reduced quality of life in women. The aim of present study was to assess the prevalence and related risk factors of UI, AI, and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods: The present study recruited 340 menopausal women living in Tabriz in northwest Iran. The data collection tools included the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and a personal and social information questionnaire. POP was diagnosed via clinical examination using the simplified pelvic organ prolapse quantification system. Results: The prevalence of UI and POP was approximately 50%, and approximately 16% of participants reported AI. Based on the odds ratios, the most remarkable risk factor of urinary stress incontinence was the number of vaginal deliveries, whereas that of urinary urge incontinence was obesity. Episiotomy and age were the most major risk factors of AI and POP, respectively. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that the prevalence of POP, UI, and AI is remarkably high among postmenopausal women, warranting the need to prioritize the assessment of POP and various incontinences in middle-aged women in the primary health care system. Furthermore, increased emphasis should be put on modifiable risk factors.

“…Another differential diagnosis is pelvic organ prolapses (POP), which is a "herniated vagina" containing one pelvic organ (bladder, rectum, or uterus) [12]. Although the urinary symptoms in the POPs are similar to the prolapsed ureterocele, such as sensation of heaviness in the pelvis, urinary urgency or frequency, voiding dysfunction, and others [13], we can distinguish from prolapsed ureterocele observing the prolapse from the vagina, not from the urethra, through pelvic examination with a Sims' speculum or a bivalve speculum [13].…”

Ureterocele is a cystic dilatation of submucosal distal ureter. It presents a higher incidence in infants and young children but is rare in adults. The urethral prolapse of ureterocele is extremely rare, and its clinical presentation includes vulvar mass, hematuria, and urinary tract dysfunction. We present a case of ureterocele prolapse in a 45-year-old woman who has a 3-day-evolution vulvar mass and intense urethral bleeding. The patient underwent armed cystoscopy and ureteroscopy, ureterocele resection, and biopsy. She evolved with good postoperative condition and was then discharged.
