Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a health issue that impacts women physically, emotionally, socially, and sexually. 28 million women in the US alone have pelvic floor disorders; POP is a global women’s health pandemic.
Due to various causes like vaginal childbirth, menopause, marathon running, heavy lifting, and many other causes, a woman’s pelvic organs can shift or drop. Various POP symptoms that occur, including painful and embarrassing ones, are indicators of this common, cryptic health issue.
The condition has probably always existed, but has received little press or public acknowledgement so women could learn about the condition and treatment options. This book on POP fills an unfortunate void in women’s health awareness.
Author Sherrie Palm
Sherrie Palm writes about her own personal experiences in Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic. Like most women, Palm had never heard of pelvic organ prolapse until it was well advanced and she needed surgical intervention. She explores the subject from all angles, providing the information women need to recognize symptoms of POP, identify their unique causal factors, and distinguish the treatment options they should explore, enabling women to become advocates for their own health.
