Prevalence of HPV infection and cervical lesions among women with pelvic organ prolapse and implications for preoperative evaluation
POP patients are not at higher risk of HPV infection but women with POP and positive HPV infection are at higher risk of cytologic abnormalities or cervical lesions than non-POP population. Colposcopy is recommended as part of the preoperative examination of POP patients to rule out cervical lesions, especially those with HPV infection.
