Vaginal prolapse is a very common disorder in the general female population. Because it is so common and often asymptomatically, there is no exact definition of this condition. Additionally its exact prevalence is not known. There are multiple risk factors that cause vaginal prolapse, for example age and vaginal deliveries are the most common, nevertheless it is considered a multifactorial process. From the surgical point of view the most accepted theory for its production is site-specific tears that would generate the prolapse as they occur. Its diagnosis is clinical and is currently classified into four stages according to the degree of descent that exists with respect to the hymen. There are many different types of treatment, and the most used are pessaries, physiotherapy and surgery. Multiple studies have been conducted in connective tissue that lines the vagina in order to find abnormalities that could explain or predict which patients are susceptible to this disease. So far the results have been contradictory, describing various local alterations in the levels of the main types of collagen in the zone. A consensus has not been reached. In the following study we recruited 99 patients with anterior vaginal wall prolapse, distributed in the different stages according to its natural distribution. Each patient underwent a surgical biopsy at the Ba point, in which local connective tissue was resected. It was subsequently studied by measuring the levels of collagen type I and III. Our results show a trend towards decreased levels of collagen type III as they progress through the stage. This is associated with an upward trend in the levels of collagen type I, however statistically significant results for both types of collagen were not obtained. Our results are consistent with a reduction of the principal type of collagen found in the area and charged of tension in lax tissues, which would be proportional to the degree of decline shown by the tissues or severity of illness. This could be in the context of an injury secondary to local trauma that cause prolapse, associated with a repair process that could explain the concomitant increase of collagen type I. Longitudinal studies are needed in order to further investigate whether these changes are secondary or are present from the beginning when there was no disease....
