Association Between Weight Change Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Weight Change During the Perinatal Period Among Chinese Women
Weight change during the perinatal period is the risk factor of postpartum POP. Specifically, a pre-pregnancy BMI < 23 kg/m<sup>2</sup> did not increase the risk of POP, whereas gestational weight gain ≥14 kg and weight retention ≥5 kg at 6 months postpartum significantly increased the risk of postpartum POP. Weight management programs during and after pregnancy may help reduce the risk of POP.
