Bacterial colonization of female reproductive tract in genital prolapse (preliminary results)

Abstract

For many years, prolapse of internal reproductive organs in women has been quite a common gynecological disease [1, 2, 4, 11-13] often requiring surgical correction. The incidence of genital prolapse (56.3%) is highest at the age of 50 and above, however recently the disease has tended to become younger. Women under 45 years constitute 30-37.5% of genital prolapse patients, women under 30 years old - 10.1-12.3%. Severe forms of the disease have prevailed over the recent years, involving adjacent organs and deterioration of their function [4].
