  Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects up to half of all women during their lifetime, and one in eight will have surgery to treat it by the age of 85. Yet, despite how common POP is, the public's awareness and understanding of this condition remains limited.

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which suggests that women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) do not necessarily need to have a hysterectomy. Traditionally, hysterectomy has been a common part of POP surgery, but the research indicates that outcomes are similar whether or not the uterus is removed. The study, involving over 1,700 women, found that those who retained their uterus had comparable success rates in terms of symptom relief and quality of life improvements. This finding challenges the routine inclusion of hysterectomy in POP surgeries, suggesting that preserving the uterus could be a viable option, potentially reducing the invasiveness of the procedure and its associated risks and recovery time. The article highlights the importance of personalized treatment plans, taking into account the patient's overall health, future fertility desires, and personal preferences.
