The outcome of uterovaginal prolapse prevalence in obese patients

Objective: to examine the frequency and contributing variables of uterovaginal prolapse (UVP) in obese women who arrive to a tertiary care hospital between the ages of 20 and 40. Methods: From January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar. The study comprised 20–40-year-old obese women. Information was gathered on symptoms, parity, demographics, and other pertinent variables. In order to determine correlations between UVP and the relevant variables, statistical analysis was done. Results: with the following averages: mean height of 1.563 ± 0.05 meters, mean weight of 78.305 ± 3.51 kg, mean age of 29.049 ± 2.34 years, and mean BMI of 32.078 ± 1.69 kg/m². Significant correlations were found between UVP and pelvic heaviness (36.7% in UVP vs. 5.7% without UVP, p=0.000) and pain during sexual activity (42.4% in UVP vs. 7.9% without UVP, p=0.000). UVP was substantially correlated with higher parity (>2 children) (50% vs. 16.9% for 0-2 children, p=0.000). While smoking status was not a significant effect (p=0.283), older age, marital status, and occupation were. Conclusion: In obese women between the ages of 20 and 40, the study finds a strong correlation between UVP and a number of variables, such as parity, age, marital status, and occupation. Among those with UVP, symptoms such as pelvic heaviness and pain during sexual activity were more common. In order to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life, these findings highlight the significance of tailored prevention and care interventions for at-risk populations, especially those in older age groups and with higher parity.
