Vaginal estrogen before and after prolapse surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using vaginal estrogen before and after prolapse surgery helps improve recovery and long-term results. Women having apical suspension surgery (to support the top of the vagina) may benefit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are planning surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse that supports the top of the vagina (apical suspension), either through the vagina or abdomen.
- You have not had mesh placed for prolapse in a previous surgery.
- You are willing to complete surveys about your pelvic health, sexual health, and function before and after surgery.
- You plan to stay in the study area for at least 2 years after your surgery.
- You do not have conditions that prevent using vaginal estrogen, such as breast cancer, unexplained bleeding, liver problems, blood clots, or a history of stroke or heart attack.

This study tracks how well women recover after surgery for advanced pelvic organ prolapse. You will wear a small activity monitor before and after surgery to see how your activity level changes, and you'll follow a simple exercise plan to help your recovery.
This study compares two ways to fix a type of pelvic organ prolapse (when organs drop into the vagina): using mesh through vaginal surgery versus using mesh through robotic-assisted abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if the robotic method works as well as the vaginal method.
This study follows women who have vaginal surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse (when pelvic organs drop due to weakened support). Researchers will track whether patients maintain good bladder control after surgery and identify factors that help predict the best outcomes.
This study tests a new mesh implant to fix pelvic organ prolapse (when organs drop down into the vagina). It looks at how safe and well the implant works in women who need surgery for this condition.
This study tests a new, adjustable pessary for people with pelvic organ prolapse. If you already use a pessary and it works for you, this new device might be a better fit.
This trial compares two surgical options to treat a type of vaginal prolapse where the top of the vagina (apical area) has dropped. It may help find which approach works better and has fewer long-term problems for people who’ve had prior prolapse surgery and a hysterectomy.
