The aging population combined with increasing obesity rates has resulted in more women experiencing pelvic organ prolapse. Common treatment options include pelvic reconstructive surgery or the use of pessaries to prop up descending organs.

Study results are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
