“…Therefore, the affected people are less likely to be diagnosed. Women’s awareness of POP is low; this could lead to a lack of reporting and a lack of proper identification of the disease through the questionnaire ( 41 – 43 ). The sensitivity of the prolapse questionnaire to identify cases of pelvic organ prolapse was very low (38.3) even when clearly visible ( 34 ).…”

Background: The prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse is varied in different countries. For validating the results of numerous studies on the prevalence of Pelvic organ prolapse in the world, a meta-analysis study seems necessary to provide an accurate and valid prevalence for planners and researchers in this field. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the worldwide prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse using the meta-analysis method. Methods: By using valid keywords, searching was done in ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Medline databases, and 22 articles were selected based on inclusion criteria between 2009 and 2021. The quality of articles was checked using The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. Meta-analysis was performed on collected data using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA, Version 2). Meta-analysis of data was done with a random-effects model. The heterogeneity of the study was checked using the I2 index. Publication bias was assessed by the Egger test and funnel graph. Results: The overall prevalence of included studies was 30.9% (95% confidence interval: 24.4-38.2%), (P<0.001, heterogeneity I2=99.8%). Meta-analysis of subgroups in studies that used a questionnaire to estimate the prevalence rate showed the prevalence was 25.0% and, in the studies, used the physical examination was 41.8%. Conclusion: Studies carried out in different parts of the world have examined the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse using different tools. Since some cases are asymptomatic, especially in the low stage of prolapse, physical examination of pelvic organ prolapse should be considered an essential tool in evaluating pelvic organ prolapse.

This is a frequent disorder among women that hurts their quality of life. The current study aimed to assess the knowledge and practices of women regarding risk factors and preventive measures for vaginal prolapse. Subjects and method: Design: A descriptive correlational research design was utilized.Between July and December 2020. Subjects: the researcher employed purposive sampling techniques on 355 women aged 19 to 49 at seven government maternity and child centers in Port Said. Tools: The data was collected by using an interview questionnaire. The Results: The majority of women surveyed (69.6%) had insufficient general knowledge regarding vaginal prolapse (49.8%) had heard of vaginal prolapse from a medical team, and more than half of the women surveyed in the sample (56.9%) thought that preventive methods for vaginal prolapse were satisfactory (antenatal, postpartum, and postpartum). Finally, there was a significant positive link between women's general understanding of vaginal prolapse and their general practice of it (P=0.000). Conclusion: Women had inadequate total knowledge regarding vaginal prolapse. The vast majority of women practice antenatal, natal, and postnatal measures to prevent the occurrence of vaginal prolapse. Recommendations: It was recommended that a vaginal prolapse awareness program for women in their reproductive years must be implemented to prevent its occurrence.
