Urodynamic changes in women with pelvic organ prolapse

Abstract EN

Aim To study the prevalence of urodynamic changes associated with female having pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and to correlate these changes with symptoms.

Patients and methods A cross‑sectional hospital‑based study was performed on 29 women with POP seeking care at a Female Urology Clinic, Urology Department, Assiut University Hospital, Assiut, Egypt.

A questionnaire was administered to gather information about symptoms.

Urine analysis, abdominal ultrasound, and urodynamic study were done.

Results Overactive bladder was more common in cystocele.

Hydronephrosis was present in 24.1% of POP cases; all of them were fourth degree.

As the degree of POP increases, overactive bladder decreases and infravesical obstruction is more likely.

Conclusion Urodynamic and clinical findings are common among women with POP.
