Ultrasound evaluation of the impact of different BMI on pelvic organ prolapse (POP) related indicators in postpartum women. A: In postpartum women with BMI<25 kg/m², the positions of the bladder neck, cervix, rectocele, and pelvic floor hiatus during the Valsalva maneuver were evaluated. The bladder neck mobility was 13 mm, the cervix was 20 mm above the reference line, there was no rectocele, and the pelvic floor hiatus area was 17 cm²; B: In postpartum women with BMI≥25 kg/m², the positions of the bladder neck, cervix, and rectocele during the Valsalva maneuver, as well as the area of the pelvic floor hiatus, were measured. The bladder neck displacement was 36 mm, the cervix descended 8 mm below the reference line, the rectocele protruded 21 mm, and the area of the pelvic floor hiatus was 32 cm².
