Objective: To evaluate the effect of surgically induced weight loss on pelvic floor disorders (PFD) in morbidly obese women.
Summary Background Data: Although bariatric surgery may lead to the improvement of some obesity-related comorbidities, the resolution of global PFD has not been well described.
Methods: Women with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 kg/m(2) or more who were considering bariatric surgery were asked to complete 2 validated condition-specific questionnaires assessing the distress/quality of life impact of PFD, total and by domain (pelvic organ prolapse, colorectal-anal, and urogenital).
Purpose: Morbid obesity is associated with urinary incontinence (UI). The study purpose was to determine the prevalence of fecal incontinence (FI), its associated risk factors, and its impact on quality of life (QOL) in morbidly obese women.
Materials And Methods: A questionnaire-based study on morbidly obese women [body mass index (BMI)>or=35 m/kg2], attending a bariatric surgery seminar, was conducted.
Purpose: This study was designed to determine the impact of excess body mass on the prevalence of pelvic floor disorders in morbidly obese females.
Methods: A total of 358 morbidly obese females (body mass index (BMI) >or= 35 kg/m(2)) completed two validated, condition-specific, quality of life questionnaires of pelvic floor dysfunction, which assessed stress/impact in three main domains of pelvic floor disorders: pelvic organ prolapse, colorectal-anal, and urogenital incontinence. Prevalence and severity scores in the study population were compared with data from 37 age-matched nonobese controls (BMI
