“…En un artículo reciente publicado por Washington et al 17 intentaron definir mejor la correlación de las variables obesidad y prolapso, tomando en cuenta la severidad del mismo según el grado. No encontraron asociación estadística entre obesidad y prolapsos mayores o iguales al grado 2, pese a la mayor repercusión descrita en cuanto a sintomatología relacionada en las pacientes obesas.…”

“…The association between obesity and symptoms of pelvic-floor discomfort varies within the literature, which most likely reflects the use of different methodologies. 5 Some researchers have not found obesity to be an independent risk factor for prolapse progression. 4,5,21 Conversely, others have found that being overweight or obese was strongly associated with a high rate of global prolapse (OR 2.09; CI95% 1.1-3.6); 4 however, these investigators did not perform a physical examination with a speculum or compare their results with a control group of non-obese women.…”

Because increased abdominal pressure (as observed for obese women) is probably a risk factor for genital prolapse, we hypothesize that correction of the anterior compartment in this population could modify the posterior compartment and provoke a de novo prolapse of the posterior compartment.…”
