Anatomic outcomes after pelvic-organ-prolapse surgery: comparing uterine preservation with hysterectomy.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol

Objective: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is of growing importance to gynecologists, as the estimated lifetime risk of surgical interventions due to prolapse or incontinence amounts to 11-19%. Conflicting data exist regarding the effectiveness of POP surgery with and without uterine preservation. We aimed to compare anatomic outcomes in patients with and without hysterectomy at the time of POP-surgery and identify independent risk factors for symptomatic recurrent prolapses.

- The study investigates the Anti-Müllerian-Hormone (AMH) levels in healthy pregnant women to assess how ovarian reserve changes with age and throughout pregnancy.
- A total of 554 women participated, with AMH measured during different trimesters and postpartum, revealing significant declines in AMH levels as pregnancy progressed and immediately after delivery.
- Women aged 35 and older consistently showed lower AMH levels compared to younger women, indicating age-related declines in ovarian reserve even in a healthy population.
