Annotation:

Genital prolapse is not a fatal pathology, but patients' complaints relate to various aspects of a woman's life – emotional, sexual, related to the function of the genitourinary organs, intestines, physical exertion, sports, and others, which in the complex can be characterized as quality of life. Analyzing current questionnaires on the impact of GP on quality of life, almost all of them are designed for women during their illness and not after treatment. However, no multi-component questionnaire covers various aspects of a woman's life. The questionnaire developed by us contains the main sections – the presence of complaints from the pelvic organs, problems with urination, the presence of nocturia, urinary incontinence, incomplete emptying of the bladder, constipation, gas, stool incontinence, sexual discomfort, issues with physical exertion, sports, problems with long journeys (more than an hour), emotional problems (anxiety, depression), sleep problems, problems with the general state of health, dissatisfaction with the result of the operation. All 125 patients noted the ease of filling out the questionnaire due to the specific questions that bother them most of all. According to the results of the statistical coefficients indicated, the questionnaire is reliable and valid and can be used in patients with GP to assess the quality of life and in women who have undergone surgery for GP for the subjective assessment of surgical treatment. Therefore, the developed questionnaire will help doctors assess the dynamics of patients' quality of life and correct treatment tactics.
