Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Role of Hormonal Status on Vascularization and Vaginal Tissue in Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Brief Summary: Our primary aim in the current study is to determine important tissue differences, including muscle and connective tissue changes, between postmenopausal women and reproductive age women with pelvic floor dysfunction to help develop targeted and noninvasive treatments.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Composite of tissue matrix metalloproteinases, collagen/elastin structure, microvasculature and muscle thickness [ Time Frame: 1-month perioperative study ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
