Relationship between pelvic organ prolapse and bronchial asthma

Objective: Genital organ prolapse is frequently observed in clinical practice. Vaginal birth, multiparity, menopouse, history of genital prolapse, obesity, constipation, asthma bronchiale are the most common determinants of risk of genital prolapse. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between bronchial asthma and pelvic organ prolapseMaterials and methods: A total of 200 patients, 100 bronchial astma, 100 control group included in this study. Women who were pregnants, in the period of 6 months after birth, having connective tissue diseases, had surgery for genital prolapse before and operative births in the past were excluded from the study. There was no limit in the age. Pelvic examinations were performed by using POP-Q system.Results: There was an decrease in the measurements of the points Aa, Ba and C in the group of asthma bronchiale. There were no significant difference between the measurements of other points. Compared with control group, the stage using POP-Q were higher in the patients with asthma bronchiale (Mann-Whitney U= 4255 p= 0.04). We determined that stress urınary incontinans was much more in the group of asthma bronchiale while urge urınary incontinans was not.Conclusion: The stage using POP-Q were higher in the group of asthma bronchiale. This showed the importance of the asthma bronchiale in the etiology of genital prolapse. To inform the patients about the risk of genital prolapse will effect the patients adaptation on the therapy of bronchial asthma. This will arrise the quality of life and decrease the cost of theraphy of genital prolapse
