Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In recent years, the problem of pelvic organ prolapse has been given much more attention. Many women are living longer, and there is more interest in maintaining self-image of femininity and the capacity of sexual activity beyond menopause. Although few data on the incidence or preva- lence of various forms of pelvic organ prolapse exist, the incidence appears to be rising based on increased longevity of women.
