Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial comparing rates of de novo dyspareunia in women with and without vaginal dilator use following surgery for pelvic organ prolapse with traditional posterior repair. Our hypothesis is daily use of vaginal dilators from post-op week 4 through week 8 after posterior repair will reduce the rate of de novo dyspareunia.
