Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 47
Abstract
Utero-vaginal prolapse (UV) is a common condition affecting millions of women worldwide, and a major cause of gynecological surgery. Although it is not life threatening but, it can have a severe impact on quality of life. Prolapse is a protrusion of a pelvic organs beyond its normal anatomical confines and it represents the failure of fibromuscular support to maintain normal position. Urodynamic Study (UDS) is the dynamic study of the transport, storage and evacuation of urine. The ultimate goal of urodynamics is to aid in the correct diagnosis of urinary incontinence based on pathophysiology. Urodynamic studies assess both the filling storage phase and the voiding phase of the bladder and urethral function. [b]AIM:[/b] of this study is to assess the role of urodynamic measures in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients for identifying the urinary problems concomitant with prolapse for proper management. The use of urodynamic tests are for diagnosis, prognosis, guidance of clinical management and decision for type of surgery that results in improvement of patient outcomes with various urological conditions.
