| Popis: | Nonmalignant genital tract conditions and pelvic floor disorders including pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence are common gynecologic problems encountered by the older woman. With the rapidly increasing population of active older American women, physicians can expect to provide evaluation and treatment of these conditions with increasing frequency. These conditions are typically amenable to both medical and surgical therapies making individualization of treatment approaches important. An anatomically directed survey of nonneoplastic conditions of the lower and upper genital tract conditions is presented along with a discussion of pelvic floor support disorders common in the older woman. Evidenced-based evaluation and treatment suggestions are provided. |
