On multivariate analysis, controlling for potential confounders, including partial\/complete avulsion, loss of forniceal tenting remained independently associated with increased cystocele descent (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.005).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Vaginal childbirth is associated with loss of tenting of the vaginal fornices, independent of levator trauma, and also with impaired anterior vaginal wall support.
