Association Between Genital Hiatus Size 8 Weeks Postpartum and Pelvic Organ Prolapse 1 Year After the First Vaginal Delivery

Abstract

(Abstracted from Urogynecology 2023;29:865–871) Pelvic organ prolapse is most common later in life but can affect women in the period following vaginal delivery. Although vaginal birth is a known risk factor for prolapse, there exists no predictor of timing of prolapse based on changes in the pelvic floor after childbirth.
