  • Title: [Genital prolapse].
    Author: Glavind K, Mouritsen AL, Pedersen LM, Bek KM.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2000 Mar 13; 162(11):1542-6. PubMed ID: 10868108.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of genital prolapse in women is unknown. The development of prolapse is dependent on the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue. Risk factors are vaginal birth, obstipation, high abdominal pressure and surgical procedures. Preventive measures are discussed. The classification of prolapse is somewhat difficult. Conservative treatment with pessaries and pelvic floor muscle exercises and various surgical procedures are discussed.
