Abstract

Aim: Pelvic organ prolapse is a pelvic floor disorder in which advancing age, obesity, and parity are the main risk factors. Although itis known that the prevalence is around 10% in the whole population, approximately half of the cases are asymptomatic. Pelvic organprolapse is not expected in the absence of risk factors such as obesity, age, and parity. The aim of this study was to evaluate thepelvic floor support -without these risk factors- in patients who underwent operative hysteroscopy for benign gynecological reasonsin a university hospital.Material and Methods: In this prospective study, the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) examination wasperformed in patients undergoing operative hysteroscopy with benign gynecological indications. The relationship between pelvicorgan prolapse and risk factors such as obesity, age, and parity was investigated in these patients who were asymptomatic for pelvicfloor disorders.Results: 1256 patients underwent operative hysteroscopy under general anesthesia with benign gynecological indications. Themean age of the patients was 29.8 years. The most common indication for operative hysteroscopy was the endometrial polyps(21.9%). None of the patients who underwent operative hysteroscopy had any symptoms of pelvic floor disorders. Pelvic organprolapse was detected in 57.5% of the patients in Stage-0, 22.4% in Stage-1, 19.2% in Stage-2, and 0.9% in Stage-3. None of thepatients had total uterine procidentia (Stage-4). Even though they were asymptomatic, stage-2 pelvic organ prolapse was detectedin 20% of normal-weight nulliparous patients younger than 30 years.Conclusion: Pelvic floor disorders can also be seen in non-obese and nulliparous patients at a young age. Although such patients areasymptomatic, they should be referred to urogynecology clinics for optimal pelvic floor support in the following years.
