In all, 93 women (53.4%) had cystocele, 63 (36.2%) had rectocele, and 37 (21.3%) had uterine prolapse. Univariate analysis identified high parity; young age at first delivery; menopause; squatting or standing position during delivery; and early return to work after delivery as risk factors for POP. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that delivery in a lying position presented a lower risk for cystocele than squatting or standing (odds ratio 0.34; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both LUTS and POP are common among women in rural Nepal.
