Women suffer in silence with below-the-waist symptoms they find too embarrassing to share with doctors, intimate partners, family, or friends, such as vaginal tissue bulge, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, chronic constipation, or pain with intimacy.
Pelvic organ prolapse is The Biggest Secret in Women's Health. Award-winning author, patient advocate, vaginal and intimate health activist, Sherrie Palm addresses the most significant underacknowledged, underscreened, and underdiagnosed pandemic in women's health, research estimated to impact 50% of women worldwide.
Palm shares her personal POP experience, illuminates patient quality of life perceptions, and clarifies practitioner perspectives, paving the path to the next notable evolution of women's health awareness, screening, practice, and policy. Palm's book ignites a long-overdue revolution in women's wellness best practice.
