Pelvic organ prolapse may adversely impact physical, sexual and emotional health. Women with symptomatic prolapse often experience altered bladder and bowel function, increased pelvic pressure, diminution of sexual satisfaction, and altered body image. With increasing vaginal descent, various bladder, bowel, and prolapse symptoms are increased. Approximately 200,000 women undergo inpatient procedures for prolapse in the United States each year, with regional and racial differences in rates of surgery reported. The demand for health care services related to pelvic floor disorders will increase at twice the rate of the population itself.
盆腔器官脱垂可能对身体、性和情绪健康产生不利影响。有症状的脱垂女性常出现膀胱和肠道功能改变、盆腔压力增加、性满意度降低以及身体形象改变。随着阴道脱垂加重，各种膀胱、肠道和脱垂症状会增多。在美国，每年约有20万名女性因脱垂接受住院治疗，且报道的手术率存在地区和种族差异。与盆底疾病相关的医疗保健服务需求将以人口增长速度两倍的速度增加。
