Association between pelvic organ Prolapse and climacteric symptoms in postmenopausal women.
Maturitas, 2017Co-Authors: Angelo Cagnacci, Federica Palma, Antonella Napolitano, Anjeza XholliAbstract:Abstract Objective To evaluate whether climacteric symptoms are related to pelvic organ Prolapse (POP) in postmenopausal women. Study design A cross-sectional investigation was performed on 1382 postmenopausal women attending an outpatient service for menopause at a university hospital. Main outcome measures Data regarding climacteric symptoms, as captured by the Greene Climacteric Scale, and objective POP were retrieved from an electronic database. Additional data retrieved were age, anthropometric measures, personal and reproductive history, use of medication or drugs, coffee, smoking, state of anxiety (STAI scale score) and depression (Zung scale score). Results The score of Greene Climacteric Scale was higher (p = 0.02) in women with (n = 538) than in those without (n = 844) POP (29.6 ± 13.6 vs. 27.8 ± 13.; p = 0.02). In multiple logistic regression models, the score was independently related to POP as a whole (OR 1.012; 95%CI 1.003,1.022; p = 0.009), and to bladder Prolapse (OR 1.011; 95%CI 1.007,1.07; p = 0.02) or to uterus Prolapse (OR 1.003; 95%CI 0.99,1.016; p = 0.63) or Rectum Prolapse (rectocele) (OR 1.004; 95%CI 0.988,1.02; p = 0.62). Conclusions In postmenopausal women, a higher burden of climacteric symptoms, is associated with POP. Underlying mechanisms were not assessed and deserve further investigation.

stapled trans anal rectal resection and altemeir s resection for Rectum Prolapse in spinal cord injury patients
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice, 2012Co-Authors: Tao LianyuanAbstract:Objective To investigate the stapled trans-anal rectal resection(STARR) and Altemeir's resection for Rectum Prolapse in spinal cord injury(SCI) patients.Methods Anus bowel disease of 260 SCI patients were investigated,21 cases with Rectum Prolapse who were invalid for nonoperative treatment chose Altemeir's resection or STARR depending on the degree of Rectum Prolapse.They were recorded according to International Spinal Cord Injury Bowel Function Based and Extension Set before and 12 months after operation.Results 85 SCI patients were with Rectum Prolapse(32.7%),21 patients complicated with constipation and mixed hemorrhoid,19 with rectal mucous membrane Prolapse(7 cm),4 with rectal internal mucous intussusception,2 were completely Rectum Prolapse(7 cm).Rectum Prolapse of Ⅰ degree was found in 13 cases,Ⅱ in 5 cases,and Ⅲ in 3 cases.Patients with Ⅰ or Ⅱ degrees Rectum Prolapse accepted STARR,those with Ⅲ degrees accepted Altemeir's resection.No serious complication was found.Self-report of intestinal dysfunction affecting the quality of life during the 12 months after operation significantly decreased(P0.01),so as the need of drawing out defecate with hands(P0.01),the usage of liner,plug,or antidiarrheal(P0.001).The symptom such as endless defecate feeling,abdominal distension,abdominal pain,abdominal discomfort were significantly alleviated(P0.05).Conclusion STARR and Altemeir's resection are both safe and effective operation for Rectum Prolapse in SCI patients.

Anal position index; can it predict pelvic organ disorders in adults? O Ãndice de posição anal pode prever doenças de órgãos pélvicos em adultos?
2019Co-Authors: Alemrajabi M., Moradi M., Jahangiri F., Marzbali F.Abstract:Introduction: Anal position index is calculated with a simple formula, which is used to determine the exact position of anus in perineum. This index is currently used only in neonates and infants. Anteriorly displacement of anus is a common cause of chronic constipation. Here we assessed the association between anal position index with patients� characteristics, chronic constipation, Rectum Prolapse uterine Prolapse, and number of delivery. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed in 2018 on 63 adult admitted to colorectal surgery clinic. Anus-forchuette, coccyx-forchuette and coccyx-scrotum and anal-scrotum were measure by a simple meter tape. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS for Windows, ver. 18) was used for data analysis. Independent Student's t-test, correlation coefficient and ANOVA were used. Results: Sixty-three patients within age range of 22�75 years old were recruited. 48 were male (76.2) and 15 females (23.8). Twenty-nine (46) had chronic constipation. The mean ± SD of the index with confidence interval of 95 was 0.5325 ± 0.11861 in males and 0.4510 ± 0.16803 in females. Also the mean of the index was 0.4616 ± 0.14007 in patients with chronic constipation and 0.5570 ± 0.11559 in patients without constipation. Discussion: Anal position index can be a prognostic factor to predict chronic constipation and pelvic floor anatomy disturbance in adults as well as pediatrics. © 201
