摘要：Objective: This study evaluates the relationship between symptoms of pelvic floor dis.r.ers, and meas.r.ment of pelvic organ prolapse. study design: This.r.trospective cross-sectional study assessed prolapse in 905 women in an academic urogynecologic practice using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification exam. symptoms were assessed with a Likert symptom questionnaire and the Urogenital Dis.r.ss Inventory. relationships between symptoms and prolapse were analyzed using spearman’ s correlation. results: symptoms of “ bulging” correlated moderately to the greatest extent of prolapse (r = 0.4, P <.001). Frequency of bother progressively increases when the leading edge descends from -3 and 0. Between ? 1 and ? 5, 90% of women report bother. symptoms typically attributed to anterior or posterior wall prolapse did not correlate with descent of the respective compartment. Conclusion: “ Bulging” is the principle symptom that correlates with prolapse severity. We found no dis.r.te anatomic position that dis.r.minates between prolapse as a disease state and normal anatomic variation.
