Magnitude, Presentation, and Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse at a Tertiary Referral Hospital in Southwestern Uganda: Retrospective Medical Records Review (2014–2018)

Preventive strategies should be strengthened to reduce the occurrence of POP, and greater emphasis should be placed on promoting less invasive treatment options, including the use of pessaries.
