  1. GENITAL PROLAPSE

  2. ♣ The pelvic floor, closing the outlet of the pelvis is made up of a number of muscular and facial structures  the most important of which is the LEVATOR ANI. ♣ These structures are pierced by the RECTUM, VAGINA & URETHRA.  passing through the exterior of the body ♣ These structures are supported in place by: - ligaments - condensation of facia

  3. ♣ A relaxed vaginal outlet is usually a sequel to mere  OVERSTRETCHING of the perineal supporting tissues as a result of previous parturition  Muscular atony and loss of elastic tissue in later life  lack of hormone  DENERVATION due to damage to perineal or pelvic nerves  delivery and pelvic surgery

  4. TYPES OF GENITAL PROLAPSE PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE (POP) 1. CYSTOCELE = As a result of defect in the pubo-cervical facial plane which support the bladder anteriorly = it tends to permit the bladder to sag down below and beywond the uterus 2. URETHROCELE: = when the defective facie involves the urethra 3. RECTOCELE = due to attenuation in the pararectal facea  permits the rectum to bulge through 4. ENTEROCELE: = Perintoneal hernial sec. along the anterior surface of the rectum = Often contains loops of small intestine

  5. DIAGNOSIS OF POP SYMPTOMS:  Often symptomless  Complaints of :  Pressure and heaviness in the vaginal region  Sensation of “everything dropping out”  Bearing down discomfort in the lower abdomen  Backache

  6. Other associated problems:  Fecal incontinence (e.g. with complete perineal laceration) and often with loose of stools.  Difficulty in emptying the bladder with marked cyctocele  Cystitis  due to residual urine  ascending UTI  frequency of micturition  Urinary incontinence  stress incont.  Difficulty of defection and constipation with rectocele  haemorrhoids  Lump/Mass protruding through is marked prolapse

  7. SIGNS / EXAMINATION: • Inspection  Gaping introitus  Perineal scars  Visible cystocele and rectocele / urethral  Uterine prolapse  Cx. Ulceration (contact) = Decubitus ulcer Degree of prolapse

  8. TREATMENT Incontinence P O P Objective: To provide cure or improvement Treatment options, risks, benefits and outcomes should discuss. Treatment Options: Can be divided into: Pharmacology Conservative Surgical Measures intenvention I. CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT:  Life style interventions  Physical therapy (PFMT) / Kegel’s Exercise  Bladder training  Electrical stimulation  Behavioural strategies  Anti- incontinence

  9. II. PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT: A. Drug used for Urgency Incont. and OAB. i. Antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) agents - Muscanic receptors (M2 & M3) are predominant in the bladder. - These can be blocked by antimuscanic which act by competing with ACH a=on the muscanic receptors mainly during the storage phed. e.g. Oxybutinin Tolterodine Solifenacin Tertiary amines Darifanacin Propiverine  Quarternary amines - Very good efficacy profile - Side effects:  Dry mouth  Constipation  Blurred Vision  Cardiovascular effect – palpitations / tachycardia = Contraindication:  , Narrow angle glucoma

  10. ii. Bothulinum Toxin (BTX) - types A & B - local intravesical injection - Blocks the release of Ach from presympathetic nerve endings at the myoneuronal junction  muscle contractility B. DRUGS FOR SUI: i. Duloxetine = combined norepinephrine and serotonin re-uptake inhibition   sphincter muscle activity during filling plan of micturition  significant  in incont. Episode frequency (IEF) >50% from baseline is improvement in quality of life SIDE EFFECTS: - Nausea - Others  fatigue, dry mouth, headache, ___ C. ESTROGENSIC = Controversiial  little effect in the management of SUI

  11. SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR INCON. I. SURGERY FOR SUI: 1. Intraurethral injection therapy 2. Cysto urethap____ 3. Low-tension vaginal tape - TVT - TOT 4. Classical sling procedures 5. Artificial sphincters II. SURGERY FOR URGNECY INCONT. (UUI) 1. Augmentation cystoplasty 2. Auto-augmentation 3. Sacral nerve stimulation
