Types of prolapse
Urthrocele Lower anterior
vaginal wall Involving urethra
only
Cystocele Upper anterior
vaginal wall Involving bladder
Urethrocystocele As above with associated prolapse of urethra

Types of prolapse
Apical prolapse Prolapse of the uterus,
cervix and upper vagina
Or of the vault
Enterocele Upper posterior wall
of the vagina Resulting pouch usually
contains loops of small bowel
Rectocele Lower posterior wall of vagina Involving anterior wall of the rectum

Pelvic organ prolapse scoring
system Patient must be:
Standing at rest, straining, traction employed
0 No descent of pelvic organs during straining
1 Leading surface of prolapse does not descend below 1cm above the hymenal ring
2 Ledaing edge of prolapse extends from 1cm above to 1cm below the hymenal ring
3 Prolapse extends 1cm or more below the hymenal ring but without complete vaginal eversion
4 Vagina completely everted (complete procidentia)

Aetiology of prolapse
Vaginal delivery and pregnancy Mechanical injuries, denervation Large infants Prolonged second stage Instrumental delivery
Increased age
Congenital Ehlers-Danlos
Chronic predisposing factors – increasing intra-abdominal pressure Obesity Chronic cough, constipation, heavy lifting
Iatrogenic Pelvic surgery, hysterectomy

Clinical features
Dragging sensation or lump sensation
Interferes with intercourse if severe
Urinary frequency if cysourethrocele
Stress incontinence
?difficulty defecating – rectocele
What examination would you perform?

Abdominal and bimanual examination
![Page 8: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Investigation and management
Pelvic ultrasound
Urodynamic testing
Fitness for surgery
Weight reduction, physiotherapy?
Ring pessary or shelf pessary (more effective for severe prolapse May cause pain, urinary retention
Surgical
![Page 9: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Surgical treatment
Uterine prolapse Vaginal hysterectomy but…. 40% then have vaginal vault prolapse…
HYSTEROPEXY Uterus and cervix attached to the sacrum using a non-absorbable mesh
Vaginal vault prolapse Sacrocolpopexy
Fixes vault to sacrum
Complications: mesh erosion, haemorrhage
Sacrospinous fixation (vaginally) Suspends vault to sacrospinous ligament
Vaginal wall prolapse Anterior/posterior repair
Urodynamic incontinence TVT – Tension-free vaginal tape Or, Burch colposuspension Usually at same time as prolapse repair
![Page 10: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Disorders of the urinary tract
![Page 11: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Urinary stress incontinence
Confirm by urodynamic studies -> Urodynamic stress incontinence
Bladder neck below pelvic floor
During increased intra-abdominal pressure, pelvic floor and urethra unable to compensate
Bladder pressure exceeds urethral pressure
Incontinence results
![Page 12: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Examination and Investigation
O/E May reveal cystocele or urethrocele
Leakage with coughing
Palpate abdomen Exclude distented bladder (overflow)
Ix Dipstick – exclude infection
Urodynamic studies
Cystometry – exclude overactive bladder
![Page 13: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Management
Encourage weight loss if obese Stop smoking (chronic cough) Reduce excessive fluid intake
Pelvic floor muscle training 8 x daily Vaginal cones
Duloxetine (SNRI) SEs: dyspepsia, dry mouth, dizziness, insomnia, drowsiness
Surgery if conservative and pharmacological failed TVT – tension-free vaginal tape or TOT transobturator
tape (more effective than burch colposuspension)
![Page 14: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Overactive bladder
Urgency with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency or nocturia
Symptoms suggestive of DETRUSOR OVERACTIVITY
Detrusor overactivity during the FILLING STAGE May be spontaneous or provoked e.g. coughing (post-cough) Not all with OAB have detrusor overactivity (and vica versa)
Often idiopathic
Can follow USI (urinary stress incontinence) operations
OAB may be due to involuntary detrusor contractions (detrusor overactivity..) May occur in presence of disease e.g. MS or spinal cord
injury
![Page 15: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Investigations
History Urge and urge incontinence
Leak at night or orgasm
Hx of childhood enuresis common
Examination Often normal. ?indicental cystocele
Investigations Urinary diary: caffeinated drinks? Frequent
passage of small amounts of urine
Cystometry: contractions on filling or provocation
![Page 16: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Management
Reduce fluid and caffeine intake Bladder training
i – education
ii – timed voiding with systematic delay in voiding
iii – positive reinforcement
Anticholingics(antimuscarinics) e.g. oxybutynin, tolterodine, solifenacin
For nocturia – desmopressin
Botulinium toxin A Blocks neuromuscular transmission
Injected cystoscopically – 10-30 locations, duration 6 months
Complication - retention
Oestrogens Women often develop symptoms after the menopause
Oestrogen reduces urgency, urge incontinence, frequency and nocturia
![Page 17: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Mixed USI & Overactive bladder
10% of all incontinence cases
Most bothersome symptom treated first

Acute urinary retention
Unable to pass urine for 12hr or more
Catheterisation produces more urine than the normal bladder capacity
Painful (except when due to epidural anaesthesia)
Due to: childbirth, pelvic masses, neurological disease
![Page 19: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chronic retention and overflow
Urethral obstruction or detrusor inactivity
Pelvic masses and incontinence surgery common causes
Autonomic neuropathis (diabetes)
Rx: intermittent self catheterisation
![Page 20: Types of prolapse Urthrocele Lower anterior vaginal wall Involving urethra only Cystocele Upper anterior vaginal wall Involving.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5697c00c1a28abf838cc8c39/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Painful bladder syndrome and
interstitial cystitis PBS: surprapubic pain related to filling of
bladder Absence of UTI or other obvious
pathology
Interstitial cystitis: PBS plus characteristic cystoscopic changes Rx: bladder training Tricyclic antidepressants analgesics
