In a population of ambulatory women presenting for routine gynecologic care, 35% and 2% of patients had stage two and stage three prolapse, respectively.1 The US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of noninstitutionalized women aged 20 years and greater found that 2.9% of women reported seeing or feeling a bulge outside the vagina and that 15.7% of women had at least moderate to severe urinary incontinence.2 Further, the NHANES report identified that the proportion of women with at least one pelvic floor disorder such as prolapse or incontinence increased incrementally with age, ranging from 9.7% in women 20 to 29 years to 49.7% in those aged 80 years or older.
