[Clinical and paraclinical examination in genital prolapses].

The clinical evaluation of a prolapse has several components: a precise interrogation, a careful clinical examination, the evaluation of its maintenance on the quality of life. It must take into account the urinary, genital and anorectal spheres. From this clinical evaluation will depend the choice and interpretation of paraclinical investigations that may be requested. But the complementary examinations must never replace the interrogation and the clinical examination. Only symptomatic genital prolapses should be treated.
