title: POP-Q stage I prolapse: is it time to alter our terminology?
abstract: The Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) staging system revolutionized the way we look at prolapse and gave us a much needed universal objective system that has helped in research and informing patients. The system is now 16 years old, and as our knowledge has increased, so has the realization that this system needs an overhaul in defining stage 1 "prolapse."
