Coexistence of Pelvic Pain, Bladder, and Bowel Symptoms in Women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Effect of Transvaginal Surgery
The coexistence of bothersome pain, bladder, and bowel symptoms is common in women with POP. Therefore, POP should always be ruled out as a differential diagnosis before classifying the symptoms as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. Women with POP and the co-existing symptoms described should be advised that surgical POP repair can resolve these symptoms in a high percentage.
