How to live an elderly woman with prolapse of the genitals?

In spite of the significant development of modern medicine, the problem of pelvic organ prolapse does not lose its actuality nowadays. Complex of symptoms that occurs when the anatomy of the pelvic floor and pelvic organs changes greatly decrease the quality of patients lives. This circumstance is especially important to take into account in older women. Certainly increased attention is required by all patients suffering from pelvic organ prolapse, which can be diagnosed in different age categories. However, the condition of postmenopausal patients is of particular concern. This is due to the fact that at an older age, significant changes occur in a woman's body, which act as provoking or aggravating factors in the development of pelvic organ prolapse. One of the main aspects of such patients is the state of hypoestrogenism. Besides, at an older age there are a large number of other extra genital pathology somatic diseases that influence significantly on the progression of the pathological process. It is also necessary to take into account that a modern woman spends almost a third of her life in the postmenopausal period. That is why doctors face a serious challenge to achieve the proper quality of life of age-related patients. Nowadays the causes leading to the development of prolapse are known, but there is still no definitive answer regarding the etiology of this disease. This circumstance dictates the necessity for further in-depth and detailed studying the problem of prolapse, as well as the search for more advanced diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. The introduction of new methods and approaches into clinical practice will contribute to the timely diagnosis of the disease and adequate treatment, which will significantly affect the health of postmenopausal patients and will allow them to start living a full life.
