Prevalence and risk factors of genital prolapse. A multicenter study.

Objective: The objective of this paper is to describe the prevalence of genital prolapse and its risk factors in semi urban and rural communities. We ultimately hope to heighten the attention of providers of care and program managers to the high prevalence of genital prolapse despite the presumed improved access to care, availability of well-trained staff and high rates of hospital deliveries.

Methods: This study was carried out in Giza, Egypt and Ein El-Basha, Jordan in 1997.
