About this product
Product Information
The subliminal message women receive from early childhood on is we should not look at, talk about, or acknowledge our vagina. It's no wonder we have such a difficult time understanding vaginal health, or interpreting symptoms such as incontinence, constipation, pelvic pain, or vaginal tissue bulge. By definition, stigma is a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance or quality. Feeling labeled or defined by a health condition can be devastating. Women typically have never heard of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) prior to the fateful examination which indicates they are experiencing the condition. Discovery upon diagnosis is unfortunately the end-result of months, sometimes years, with no clue what is causing the painful, awkward, or embarrassing symptoms occurring. Physically incapacitating to varying degrees based on type(s) and grade of severity, POP makes a mess out of nearly every aspect of women's lives. Pelvic organ prolapse stigma often generates feelings of shame, distress, helplessness, anxiety, blame, hopelessness, isolation, embarrassment, and fear. Frequently these stigma symptoms are coupled with shock. In the course of scouting for answers to address my own needs, I became determined to find a path to enable women to become informed about pelvic organ prolapse prior to diagnosis-not only women seeking treatment, but in essence, all women. The conversation should begin during the first pelvic exam a woman experiences. Women need to be informed and educated about the significance of the PC muscle for pelvic floor health, childbirth health, sexual health, and continence health. This would enable young women to recognize commonly occurring female pelvic health concerns such as POP or incontinence. It seems absurd that there is so little conversation about pelvic organ prolapse at this stage of women's health evolution, particularly considering POP has been on medical record for nearly 4000 years. My sincere hope is that this book will generate open dialogue to enable women to recognize symptoms indicating POP, as well as stimulate conversations in primary care and gynecology, currently seldom screening for POP during routine pelvic exams. Knowledge of pelvic organ prolapse is a pivotal piece of women's health awareness, and POP awareness will unquestionably generate the next significant shift in women's health.

Reviews
As a physician, I feel it is truly important for my patients to understand the important issues related to prolapse and urinary incontinence, as well as the options for treating these distressing conditions. With a good understanding of the problem and their options, women can make good informed choices regarding their care. As a surgeon, I spend a lot of time explaining pelvic organ prolapse to my patients. I am very pleased to see Sherrie Palm doing thesame thing from a woman's perspective. As a woman who had to deal with prolapse herself, she shares the inside information on how to recognize prolapse and how to get qualified help for it. This book is a must read for every woman! Lennox Hoyte MD, MSEECS Author: A Patient Guide to Prolapse Repair Sherrie Palm's tireless work as a patient advocate, and as author of "Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic," continues to play a key role in this transformation of women's healthcare. I recommend Sherrie's book as an essential reference for women impacted by these conditions, or for any individual seeking a better understanding of this remarkably common women's health condition. Roger P. Goldberg, MD MPH Author: Ever Since I Had My Baby Sherrie Palm's book, 'Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic, ' is my single most trusted resource for my patients to gain insight and education for optimal decision making in their care. I keep several copies available in my office at all times and encourage my patients to get a copy of their own. Vincent Lucente, MD, MBA Brilliant clinical and personal experience by Sherrie Palm has given the reader an unbiased, thoughtful, and useful insight into the issues surrounding pelvic organ prolapse. By being a well-versed patient advocate she is able to bridge the gaps of knowledge and experience that the lay person can relate with and the doctor relate to. Red M. Alinsod, MD, FACOG, FACS, ACGE Sherrie is such an inspiration as she continues her crusade to educate women, healthcare providers, and academics about the impact that POP has on women's lives. She understands that impact and she has dedicated her life to educating others and to obliterating the stigma attached to POP. I am so grateful for this book, for APOPS, and for Sherrie. This book is a must read for all women, as we are all vulnerable to issues affecting the pelvic floor. Thank you, Sherrie Palm, for modeling passion, compassion, tenacity, and persistence, and for encouraging and empowering women to use their voice...because it is true - every voice matters. Mary Pippen So many women - whether new mothers or squarely on the other side of menopause - say "If I only knew" when they learn that POP is the root of their physical pain, sexual dysfunction, and fecal and urinary incontinence. Sherrie's life work is to make sure more and more women know how to prevent and manage POP. And thanks to the information in this book, the medical community is becoming more sensitized. Most importantly, Sherrie's work inspires us to join forces in order to restore not only our health, but our dignity. Caitlin Bergin

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
