RESULTS OF ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE OF PELVIC FLOOR FUNCTION IN WOMEN

Abstract

Pelvic organ prolapse in women is of great medical and social importance, as it significantly reduces the quality of life of women. An anonymous electronic survey of 521 women aged 19-77 years (average age – 34.8±1.3 years) according to the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire (PFDI-20) showed that every fifth woman (19.4%) suffers from moderate pelvic organ prolapse, and 1.7% has a severe degree. The determination of the pathology of the pelvic floor organs allows the method of an active anonymous question to solve medical problems of diagnosis of urological, gynecological, gastroenterological pathology, both in psychological and economic terms.
