OBJECTIVE: In this cross-sectional study, we compared frequency of hypermobility syndrome in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients and normal healthy Turkish women. METHODS: Sixty-five women who had diagnosed as POP and ward to surgery and 52 healthy women with similar age group were included into this study. RESULTS: It was found that subjects with POP had a significantly higher prevalence of joint hypermobility (53.8%) when compared with normal individuals (9.6%). No significant correlation was demonstrated between Beighton scores and incontinence, exercises pattern and hormone replacement therapy. CONCLUSION: We concluded that joint laxity is associated with POP but not with urinary incontinence in Turkish women.
