There have been previous studies conducted on women who had prolapse and uncomplicated stress** **[urinary incontinence](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/what-is-incontinence-and-why-is-it-important)** **(SUI). Currently, there is no possibility of a universal consensus for UDS before prolapse surgery in women who have concomitant symptomatic SUI. The issue is that there is currently no evidence that the surgery outcome will be altered or not by being given a UDS. Thus, we must test further using randomized studies to advance and see if UDS can be useful before prolapse surgery.** ## Preoperative UDS Should Be Performed If a patient with a pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has either stages IIIa, IIc, or lp, she is more likely to have symptomatic vaginal bulging and asymptomatic for stress or urgency incontinence. This case is just one example of where preoperative USD should be performed before the prolapse surgery. It’s been found that POP and [lower urinary tract symptoms](https://info.bhnco.com/blog/urodynamics-guidelines-auas-latest-guidelines-on-urodynamics) (LUTS) usually coexist with each other. But, UDS involve objective assessments of any dysfunction in the urinary tract system. Some UDS could prevent and save people from POP. However, not many are willing to perform this option.
