We were asked last year on this thread whether we could look at organising a webchat with Sherrie Palm, founder of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support Organisation (APOPS). We contacted Sherrie and she agreed to join us at 9pm UK time on Tuesday 23 January to answer your questions.
Join us between 9 and 10pm on Tuesday to put questions to Sherrie and talk to others about POP. If you're unable to join us at that time, post questions for Sherrie in advance on this thread and she'll aim to get through as many questions as possible during the hour.
Sherrie Palm is the Founder/CEO of Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support (APOPS) and author of award winning book Pelvic Organ Prolapse:The Silent Epidemic. Sherrie's journey began in December 2007, with her diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse. Upon returning home and researching POP, she discovered how common the condition is, and that stigma continued to shroud the condition in silence. In an effort to increase awareness of pelvic organ prolapse, Sherrie wrote the first edition of Pelvic Organ Prolapse:The Silent Epidemic,which was published in in April 2009.
Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support(APOPS) is a USA based nonprofit advocacy agency with global arms, founded in September 2010 to generate awareness of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), to provide support and guidance to women navigating the physical, emotional, social, sexual, fitness, and employment impact of POP, and to bridge patients, healthcare, industry, research, and academia for the betterment of POP understanding and treatment evolution.
