Abstract

Objective

In this cross-sectional study, we compared frequency of hypermobility syndrome in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients and normal healthy Turkish women.

Methods

Sixty-five women who had diagnosed as POP and ward to surgery and 52 healthy women with similar age group were included into this study.

Results

It was found that subjects with POP had a significantly higher prevalence of joint hypermobility (53.8%) when compared with normal individuals (9.6%). No significant correlation was demonstrated between Beighton scores and incontinence, exercises pattern and hormone replacement therapy.

Conclusion

We concluded that joint laxity is associated with POP but not with urinary incontinence in Turkish women.
