The study aim was to evaluate the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse using claim data of South Korea and to evaluate treatment patterns. The Korea National Health Insurance Corporation pay medical costs for most diseases. This study used Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service-National Inpatient Sample (HIRA-NIS) 2009–2015. Pelvic organ prolapse was defined by diagnostic code (N81.x). Of the approximately 4.5 million women included in HIRA-NIS 2009–2015, 10,305 women were selected as having pelvic organ prolapse, and the mean age of the pelvic organ prolapse group was 63.9 ± 0.2 years. The prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse was 180 ± 4 per 100,000 population in women older than 50 years old. In logistic regression analysis, constipation increased the prevalence of all pelvic organ prolapse (odds ratio, 4.04; 95% confidence interval, 3.52–4.63; P < 0.01). The number of women requiring pessary only and surgery only were 26 ± 2 per 100,000 population and 89 ± 1 per 100,000 population, respectively, for women over 50 years of age. The prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse was quite lower than in previous studies. Surgery peaked at approximately 70 years of age. Pessary increased dramatically among women after the age of 65.

“…21 of our women (8.2%) had a history of previous caesarean section/sections. Other studies Akter F, 6 Zeleke BM 7 showed similar results. Howard D et al 8 in their study focussed on vaginal birth as a primary risk factor for the development of pelvic floor disorders and have also suggested steps to prevent or minimise the development of pelvic floor problems like moderating forceps use and utilising risk assessment tools to offer caesarean delivery to those at greatest risk.…”

BACKGROUNDPelvic organ prolapse is a downward descent of pelvic organs and results in protrusion of the vagina and the uterus. It often provides additional symptoms to patient's life already complicated by menopause. There has been a considerable variation in presentation depending on numerous variables like age, ethnicity, education and symptoms.Aim-Present study aims at studying various factors governing symptomatology and treatment choice of women in perimenopausal age group with uterovaginal prolapse in a central Indian population.

“…A review of the literature around the world revealed different factors for the development of uterovaginal prolapse. The most important once are factors that increase intra-abdominal pressure, di cult labor and delivery, malnutrition, old age, connective tissue disorders, heavy exercise, and pelvic trauma [7,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Background: Uterovaginal prolapse is a significant public health concern in developing countries like Ethiopia where access to health care is limited. It significantly affects women’s health and productivity. Thus, it is very important to identify determinant factors and take preventive actions. Methods: A hospital-based unmatched case-control study was conducted on 86 cases and 258 controls who attended gynecologic outpatient departments in Nekemte town, from May 1 to July 30/2019. Cases were women with grade II, III & IV uterovaginal prolapse while controls were women free from uterovaginal prolapse but with other gynecologic diseases. Data were collected using pretested interviewer-administered structured questionnaires and measurements on height and weight were taken to calculate the body mass index of women. Data were entered using Epi Data version 3.1 and analysis was carried out by SPSS version 24.0. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regressions were performed. The adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used and statistical significance was declared at p<0.05. Results: This study revealed, age ≥40 years (AOR=10.49; 95%CI: 4.03, 27.35), duration of labor ≥24 hours (AOR=8.32; 95%CI: 3.58, 19.33), instrumental delivery (AOR=7.40; 95%CI: 1.21, 45.28), non- utilization of family planning (AOR=3.14; 95%CI: 1.32, 7.47) and underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2) 5.30 (AOR=5.30; 95%CI: 1.83, 15.33) were determinants of utero vaginal prolapse. Conclusion: Age ≥ 40 years, prolonged labor, instrumental delivery, non-utilization of family planning, and underweight were identified as determinant factors of uterovaginal prolapse. Thus, family planning service utilization and appropriate and timely obstetric care are advisable.
