Pelvic organ prolapse linked with skin striae.(Gynecology)(research and risk factors)(Brief article)
SAN FRANCISCO -- Skin striae are at least twice as common in women with pelvic organ prolapse as in women without prolapse, a survey of 116 women found.
Hormonal status alone didn't explain the association. Women with prolapse were less likely to be postmenopausal than women without prolapse. The association may indicate a common defect in connective tissue for prolapse and striae (stretch marks), Dr. Sharon Salter wrote in a poster presentation at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.
The surveys were completed by urogynecology patients and by a control group of women undergoing Mohs surgery for skin cancer in 2005. Just over half of the women with prolapse reported striae, compared with a quarter of women without prolapse. A majority of women with striae said the marks developed during pregnancy, reported Dr. Salter of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston.
