NCT01779739

Brief Summary

This is a single center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial evaluating the change in sexual function in women undergoing vaginal repair for pelvic organ prolapse. Participants will be sexually active women who agree to randomization to having perineorrhaphy added to or excluded from their surgical repair. We hypothesize that sexual function will improve more significantly in women undergoing vaginal repair with perineorrhaphy.
