Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is estimated to impact 50% of the female population, and vaginal tissue bulge, incontinence, chronic constipation, and pain with intimacy are clear indicators – yet women are seldom screened for POP during routine pelvic exams despite childbirth and menopause being leading POP causal factors. There is little conversation about pelvic organ prolapse at this stage of women’s health evolution, absurd considering POP has been on medical record for nearly 4000 years. This book overrides stigma and generates open dialogue to enable women to recognize symptoms indicating POP. Knowledge of pelvic organ prolapse is a pivotal segment of women’s health, and POP awareness will unquestionably generate the next significant evolution of women’s health. Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic shines a light for all women to recognize symptoms they don’t understand.
