Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather baseline and follow-up data on patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) undergoing either conservative or surgical treatment options. It does not influence the allocation of patients to specific treatments but seeks to understand the impact of these treatments on quality of life and incontinence. The knowledge gained from this study will help in developing future treatment strategies for POP. Participants will be monitored over time to assess their quality of life improvements.
