Article Synopsis
- Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition with a high recurrence rate post-surgery, especially in low-resource settings, and understanding its risk factors can help in creating prevention strategies.
- This study involved 434 women in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, comparing those with and without prolapse to identify significant risk factors using statistical analysis.
- Key predictors of prolapse included low BMI, home births, family history, lack of episiotomy during births, height ≤150 cm, and having large babies, suggesting that these modifiable factors should be targeted in future prevention efforts.
