ABSTRACT
Perineal laxity is a common condition in which there is weakness of the supporting structure of the female pelvis, thereby allowing descent of one or more of the pelvic organs through the potential space of vagina. These organs include the following- urethra, urinary bladder, rectum, small intestine, uterus and the vagina itself. Perineal laxity is a common complaint of elderly women in gynecological practice. This happens mostly in multiparous and postmenopausal women. Nulliparous prolapse is seen in 2% and vault prolapse in 0.5% cases following hysterectomy
Yoni Vyapads are set of Vaginal disorders (broader meaning) occurring in female, 20 in number. YoniVyapads are different conditions occurring in women, under whom diseases related to female reproductive system including vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries are studied.
