Correlation between obesity and pelvic organ prolapse in Korean women.

Conclusion: We evaluated the correlation between obesity and POP using a validated tool. The present study revealed no significant correlation between obesity and POP severity anatomically or symptomatically in Korean women. This contrasts the results of most studies of Western women. Further studies in Asian women are required in order to confirm our results. PMID: 32693442 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
