This study followed 609 women who had vaginal surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse (when organs drop into the vagina). The goal was to find out how many women experienced new or ongoing bladder leakage after the surgery and what factors might increase that risk. Researchers t…

This study aimed to test and validate two French-language questionnaires designed to measure sexual function. It involved 298 women who had undergone surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence. The goal was to see if these new tools were reliable for understanding how thes…
