TO THE EDITORS: We read with great enthusiasm the article published by Lowder et al1 regarding the construction of a body image questionnaire for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We think the authors have solved a problem when exploring body image in POP studies because this variable has not been explored adequately. In our opinion, body image is the most important variable that should be questioned after surgery; after all, POP surgery is a plastic reconstructive modality that influences many immediate and late outcomes and is influenced by gynecologic and socio-economic characteristics.
