Resume

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a relevant clinical condition that requires a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and risk factor assessment. This study explores a systematic method for identifying predisposing factors of POP using the standardized Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system. The analysis includes demographic, anatomical, and functional parameters that help objectify the clinical picture and improve risk stratification accuracy. The use of POP-Q contributes to the unification of diagnostic criteria, enhances interdisciplinary communication, and supports the development of personalized patient management strategies. The findings may serve as a foundation for predictive modeling and optimization of surgical decision-making in pelvic reconstructive surgery.

Keywords: POP-Q; risk factors; quality of life; pelvic organ prolapse; BMI.
