“…Although only about 10–20% of symptomatic women seek medical help, both conservative and surgical interventions have been shown to improve quality of life. (16*) This again speaks to the importance of proactive screening. In addition to parity and vaginal delivery, non-obstetric risk factors for POP surgery include age, constipation, increasing weight, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.…”

Purpose of review We sought to provide a review of the recent literature regarding the prevalence and epidemiological trends in pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) including pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI). We also examined the current trends in surgical treatment for these disorders and discuss future care needs. Recent findings Approximately one quarter of all women suffer from at least one or more PFDs. UI represents the most common PFD with an estimated prevalence of 15–17% while FI affects approximately 9% of adult women. POP is more difficult to assess with prevalence estimates ranging from 3–8%. Surgery for PFDs is common as 20% of women undergo stress UI or POP surgery over their lifetime. As the aging population grows, the number of women with PFDs will increase substantially and the demand for care for these disorders will continue to grow through the year 2050. Summary PFDs are a significant public health issue and they negatively impact the lives of millions of adult women. The projected increase in the number of women affected by PFDs over the next 40 years will create increased demand for providers properly trained in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a highly prevalent condition in the female population, which impairs the health-related quality of life of affected individuals. Despite the lack of robust evidence, selective modification of obstetric events or other risk factors could play a central role in the prevention of prolapse. While the value of pelvic floor muscle training as a preventive treatment remains uncertain, it has an essential role in the conservative management of prolapse. Surgical trends are currently changing due to the controversial issues surrounding the use of mesh and the increasing demand for uterine preservation. The evolution of laparoscopic and robotic surgery has increased the use of these techniques in pelvic floor surgery.
