Did you know that 50% of women in their lifetime will experience some form of pelvic organ prolapse (POP)? That means all of you listeners, no matter what age you are, should care about learning about this common female disorder.

Over 200,000 women in the U.S. have surgery to correct POP, however surgery is not the only option, and there is much you can do to help with condition before it worsens.

Jamie will ask Teresa her questions concerning all the details of your pelvic floor and what can start to fall into the vagina as we age, and in relationship to risk factors that many women have.

We will do a comprehensive review of the most common types of POP including cystocele (bladder prolapse), uterine prolapse, and rectocele (rectal prolapse). We will review prevention, treatment options, and the most important area of help, which is pelvic floor therapy and exercises to keep your pelvic floor healthy.

We also discuss how hormones impact the pelvic floor and what options you have to support those tissues including estradiol vaginal treatments, DHEA vagina, and other topicals like Julva which I will link those things here!
