The modern methods of pelvic organ prolapse verification
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a serious problem in women of reproductive age. The frequency of the POP varies between 28 and 40% in Russia and between 31 and 50% abroad. Taking into consideration the fact that gynecologists, urologists and proctologists treat women with POP there is a real necessity of standard terminology and classification of POP. In the spectrum of such methods of diagnosis of the POP as gynecologic examination, X-ray methods (dynamic cystocolpoproctography), transperineal ultrasonography (two- and three-dimensional technologies), the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more advantageous because of its minimal invasiveness and capacity of examining all pelvic organs and also evaluating the effectiveness of surgical correction of POP.
