"Are you struggling with incontinence, constipation, vaginal pressure, vaginal tissue bulge, or painful intimacy? 'Pelvic organ prolapse ; the silent epidemic' shines a light on a common but little discussed health condition that is estimated to impact up to half the female population. Sherrie Palm's journey from patient to author, advocate, and nonprofit founder (founder/CEO/executive director of the Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support), enables her to share the reality of pelvic organ prolapse with an abundance of support, humor, and empowerment."--Back cover.
