Pelvic Organ Prolapse, or POP, is a little talked about female
health issue that half of all childbearing women will experience
late in life. There are more than 300,000 surgeries for POP
annually. Due to various causes such as menopause, estrogen loss,
genetics, childbirth or heavy lifting, a woman's pelvic organs can
shift or drop. This can lead to POP symptoms, including some
painful and embarrassing ones, as well as impacting a woman s
sexuality. 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. Sherrie Palm
writes about her own personal experiences in Pelvic Organ Prolapse:
The Silent Epidemic. She had never heard about the condition until
she needed surgery for it. Palm explores the subject from all
angles, providing the information women need to recognize the
symptoms of POP and to become advocates for their own health.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic named the winner for
