Joint hypermobility in women with genital prolapse
Lancet (London, England)
|June 26, 1982
Abstract:
To assess the relation between joint mobility and genital prolapse, joint mobility in 76 women with genital prolapse was compared with that in an age and parity matched control group without prolapse. Mobility was scored on a scale of 0-9. The number of patients with hypermobile joints and the total mobility scores were higher in the genital prolapse group (p less than 0.005), which also had more joint complaints and twice the prevalence of backache when compared with the control group.

01:43Sex-linked Disorders
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
01:26Muscles of the Pelvic Floor and Perineum
The muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum are crucial for supporting the pelvic organs, controlling continence, and aiding in sexual function, childbirth, and core stability. They are typically divided into the superficial perineal layer and the deep pelvic floor layer.
Perineal Layer
The perineum is a diamond-shaped area below the pelvic diaphragm, divided into an anterior urogenital triangle that contains the external genitals and a posterior anal triangle housing the anus. The urogenital...
