Determinants of vaginal length
Article Abstract:
The associations between total vaginal length (TVL) and various demographic, historic and physical characteristics are described. Results reveal that TVL is associated positively with height and weight, while advancing age, menopausal status, hysterectomy and reconstructive surgery are negatively associated with TVL, with all the associations being statistically significant but of unknown clinical significance.

Obstetric risk factors for symptomatic prolapse: A population-based approach
Article Abstract:
A study was carried out to identify obstetric risk factors for symptomatic prolapse. It was concluded that the excessive stretching and tearing and multiple deliveries seem to be the main predisposing obstetric factors for symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse, though abdominal delivery emerged as a comparably strong protective factor.
