An observational study in Infertility, Female, Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Pelvic Floor Disorders, sponsored by Uludag University. Status unknown at 1 site in Turkey. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-08-02.
Sponsored by Uludag University · Observational
This study aims to evaluate apical pelvic compartment support in infertility patients at the time of hysteroscopy. Apical pelvic compartment evaluation for pelvic organ prolapse will be performed in infertility patients undergoing hysteroscopy.
The incidence of pelvic organ prolapse in the whole population has been demonstrated several times in previous studies. However, pelvic floor defects in young infertility patients are not known. In this study, a clinical pelvic floor assessment with the pelvic organ quantification system will be performed in infertility patients during standard physical examinations or hysteroscopy.
2,506 studies on the registry are indexed under Infertility; 407 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 1,100 is above the median of 200 across 714 observational studies indexed under Infertility.

The study population is the patients examined for female infertility.
Exclusion Criteria:
Infertility patients will be examined according to the pelvic organ prolapse quantification classification system during hysteroscopy.
Diagnostic Test: Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system
The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system assessment tool measures nine anatomical points and distances in the vagina. The hymen is the reference point to which the other points are compared. The prolapsed organs are measured in centimeters to the hymen with an examination ruler.
Stages of the pelvic organ prolapse
Once the measurements are taken, the infertility patients are assigned to the corresponding POP-Q stage. Stage-0 is no prolapse. Stage-1 stands for the most distal portion of the prolapse is more than 1 cm above the level of the hymen. Stage-2 stands for the most distal prolapse is between 1 cm above and 1 cm below the hymen (at least one point is -1, 0, or +1). Stage-3: The most distal prolapse is more than 1 cm below the hymen but no further than 2 cm less than total vaginal length. Stage-4 stands for the complete vaginal eversion.
