BACKGROUND: Few researchers have studied symptomatic younger to middle-aged women with pelvic organ prolapse. The association between highly strenuous activity and prolapse symptoms is largely theoretical. It also known that a genetic component likely contributes early-onset prolapse, but prevention treatment respect this has not been explored. Service restrictions differ for active duty who are diagnosed CASE REPORT: We present case of 33-yr-old Gravida 1 Para fighter pilot developed after vaginal delivery. Her initially prevented her from flying due exacerbation pain pressure. exam demonstrated Stage III She was treated course physical therapy ring support pessary which allowed the patient return flight status 5 mo. After completing therapy, improved II A few months later, reported distracting recurred highest G forces. Coincidently, pulmonary sequela alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency disqualified status. DISCUSSION: This illustrates capability decreasing conservative measures, even in extreme environments, it identifies possible an elastase defect susceptibility prolapse.Buckley K, Gann J, Barbier H, Greer J.
