Get Informed about Pelvic Organ Prolapse at "Healthy Women"

 

Healthy Women is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to empower women by giving them accurate information about their health conditions.

 

The section of their website about Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is much more detailed than the average information sheet. You can find it here: Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

 

It has separate pages on the following topics:

• Diagnosis
• Treatment
• Prevention (particularly useful for pregnant women)
• Questions to ask your health professional
• Answers to common questions (including some questions I haven't really seen addressed on other websites, such as "My doctor says I have some bladder prolapse, but I don't have any symptoms. How is that possible?")
• Organisations that can offer help and support (mainly in the US)

This is a great place to start your in-depth reading about POP, once you have taken a look at a few information sheets.
