Abstract

Genital prolapse frequently coexists with lower urinary tract symptoms. The first difficulty is to detect occult incontinence masked by the prolapsed organs. Rates of detection are not the same with the different clinical maneuvers (manual, pessary, cotton swab, speculum, etc.). The second difficulty is to choose a management strategy. Through a recent analysis of the literature, this paper suggests recommendations.
