Abstract
Conclusions Lower urinary tract symptoms are common in women with genital prolapse. Voiding difficulty, bladder outlet obstruction and occult stress incontinence may coexist and they are associated with prolapse. Detrusor instability and urethral hypermobility also correlate with the degree of prolapse but impaired detrusor contractility and intrinsic sphincter deficiency to not. In women with severe prolapse ring pessary reduction of prolapse during urodynamics is useful to determine symptomatic and occult conditions.
