Can urethral mobility be assessed using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system? An analysis of the correlation between point Aa and Q-tip angle in varying stages of prolapse

The correlation between point Aa of the POP-Q and the Q-tip straining angle was moderately strong when analyzed across all degrees of prolapse. However, urethral hypermobility could not be reliably predicted from POP-Q measurement alone. Therefore, the Q-tip test remains an essential part of the urogynecologic evaluation.
