Background: Utero-vaginal prolapse is a common gynecological disorder, result from weakness of musculoskeletal structure that support the pelvic organ. Although it is not an emergency situation but severely affect the quality of life. Women with utero-vaginal prolapse may present with lower urinary tract dysfunction but association of urological changes with UV prolapse and beneficial effect of surgery on these changes is still debatable. Urodynamic study such as cystometry and uroflowmetry help in better understanding of lower urinary tract dysfunction and assist to plan appropriate surgical management thereby reduce chances of postoperative voiding dysfunction.Methods: A total of 30 women of pelvic organ prolapse with lower urinary tract dysfunction, over a period of one year, were subjected to urodynamic studies after thorough evaluation by history, examination and standardized questionnaire both pre and post operatively and data analysed.Results: In present study, urodynamic study identified urinary dysfunction in 93.34% of women recruited in study. Obstruction was present in 36.67% of women. Detrusor overactivity along with obstruction was seen in 20.00% of women. Urodynamic stress incontinence and urodynamic stress incontinence along with obstruction was identified in 13.33% of women each and detrusor overactivity was observed in 10.00% of women.Conclusions: In present study it was found that, if surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse is planned according to urodynamic study, it will improve urologic profile of patients. To conclude that urodynamic study should be an integral part of diagnostic work up of uterovaginal prolapse patients require larger sample size and at least 6 months follow-up duration after surgery.

Uterovaginal prolapse is the downward descent of the pelvic organ, resulting in protrusion of the vagina, uterus, bladder or rectum. The association between POP and hydronephrosis has been shown by various studies, but severe hydronephrosis leads to renal dysfunction are rarely seen. We report a case of 70 years old female with massive vaginal prolapse and chronic renal impairement. She presented with urinary tract infection (UTI) and raised creatinine levels of 4.5mg/dl. After correction of UTI, she surgically managed to relieve her obstructive symptoms. After surgery her creatinine levels drop to 2.0mg/dl but chronic renal failure persisted. Advance stage prolapsed may damage renal function if left untreated. Timely diagnosis and management may prevent irreversible damage to kidneys Continuous...

Urogynäkologische Deszensusbeschwerden und chronisch rezidivierende Harnwegsinfekte kommen häufig gemeinsam vor. Zurückzuführen ist dies auf gleiche ätiologische Faktoren (hormonmangelbedingte Atrophie, neurogene Erkrankungen, Stoffwechselstörungen) und auf direkte mechanische Einflüsse des Deszensus auf die Harnröhrenfunktion (Abknicken mit Miktionsstörungen und Restharnanstieg bei großer Zystozele oder Stressinkontinenz und Drangsymptomatik bei großer Urethrozele). Die Therapie soll konservativ beginnen und möglichst alle ätiologischen Faktoren angehen. Bausteine der konservativen Therapie sind Östrogene, Beckenbodentraining, Pessare, Trink- und Miktionstraining und Sanierung der urogenitalen Infektkette [1]. Führt die konservative Therapie innert einiger Monate nicht zur Heilung oder zur befriedigenden Besserung, ist in der Regel eine operative Therapie zu empfehlen. Dabei sind moderne Operationsmethoden zu wählen, die nicht nur eine anatomische Rekonstruktion sondern auch eine funktionelle Restitution zum Ziel haben, d.h. Kontinenz, gute Blasenentleerung und Defäktion und schmerzfreie Kohabitation.
