Just read this article in the Guardian and am shocked by just how prevalent prolapse are. This is a feminist issue surely?
Timely for me because I have some kind of issue and don't want to go to the doctor Blush

Definitely a feminist issue. And one that is not discussed. And worse in the majority world. There's a great charity for women who suffer fistulae and are ostracized. Sad

Definitely a feminist issue. The possible effects of childbirth on mothers are totally minimised IMO. Women are expected to just spring back from childbirth and carry on as normal without complaining. So these things don't get talked about.
