Can we Define Excess Vaginal Space? - Genital Hiatus Size and Prolapse Severity are Correlated With Cube Pessary Size

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a relatively common disease; it is described as a loss of anatomical support of the pelvic organs leading to the partial, or total downward displacement of the uterus and/or the different vaginal compartments and their neighboring organs such as bladder, rectum, or bowel into the vagina [1]. In the pathogenesis of the disease, several risk factors play a role, including menopause, genetic factors, chronically increased intraabdominal pressure, joint hypermobility and particularly obstetric pelvic floor trauma [2].
