This study was planned to investigate the relationship between the simplified pelvic organ prolapse classification system and pelvic floor symptoms. The study included 131 women with pelvic floor dysfunction. Women's pelvic organ prolapse stage was tested by simplified pelvic organ prolapse classification system, the presence and severity of pelvic floor symptoms were assessed by the Global Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire. The presence of a pelvic organ prolapse symptom was assessed by the question "Do you experience the feeling of a bulge in your vagina (or bladder, uterus, vagina, rectum)?" the severity of the symptom is "If yes, how much does it bother you?". Pelvic organ prolapse question and Global Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire scores were recorded. A weak correlation was found between simplified pelvic organ prolapse classification system and Global Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire total score in the positive direction (r=0.364, p<0.001). A moderate correlation was found between the simplified pelvic organ prolapse classification system and the pelvic organ prolapse evaluating question in Global Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire in the positive direction (r=0.590, p<0.001). High level correlation was also found between symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse presence and the 6th question of Global Pelvic Floor Bother Questionnaire (r=0,784, p<0.001). In this study, because of the difficulties and time to apply this classification system, we think that this Questionnaire will be useful in intensive clinical and research, and will be objective in determining the presence of symptomatic prolapse.
