<qa>  What is the primary objective of our study?Controversy exists as to whether the pregnancy per se rather than the mode of delivery alters the risk of POP. Caesarean section appears to protect against the development of prolapse. However, when a caesarean section is undertaken during the active stage of labour it may not be completely protective. Ideally prospective longitudinal studies are needed to study the impact of pregnancy and childbirth on pelvic organ prolapse. Unfortunately, studies to date, are small with poor follow-up and have only assessed objective outcome rendering it difficult to draw conclusions. The primary objective of our study was to objectively assess the impact of pregnancy and childbirth on pelvic organ support using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification POPQSystem.
