Symptomatic prolapse was self-reported by feeling of a bulge or something falling out from the vagina. Impact of the risk factors on symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse was estimated using logistic regression analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the association between pelvic organ prolapse symptoms and the subjective health status score.
