PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE

There. In big letters. Affects so many of us (there are some really supportive threads on MN) but it needs awareness raising.

I belong to APOPS-

www.pelvicorganprolapsesupport.org/pelvic-organ-prolapse-the-silent-epidemic-3

A really informative and helpful site. There is also a FB site that again, is extremely informative and supportive.

The founder has recently embarked on a large campaign to highlight awareness. I enquired if she had approached Mumsnet (as it seems obvious) and she informs me that yes, she had approached MN but sadly had no response?

Is this something that can be rectified revisited? It's such a huge, invisible and relatively unknown condition that I'm sure MN would be a great advocate. Perhaps MN could invite the founder to a Webchat?

I, for one, have suffered, am still suffering in fact. I considered myself to be quite well informed and I'd never heard of it! I actually though it was predominantly a "male" thing, then realised I was muddling it up with prostate Blush

Anyhow, would anyone like to badger suggest a Webchat about it? The founder has said she is more than happy to send the book and I'm quite sure she's also jump at the chance to use MN's worldwide platform to raise awareness.

Thanks in advance

Hi Shakey and thanks for this. We'll certainly keep an eye on this thread to see what interest there is for a webchat on this topic. If enough folk are keen, it is something we'd be sure to look into. Thanks again Flowers.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment on this. We can see there is a fair bit of support and so we're passing all your thoughts onwards and upwards, and will keep you posted here Flowers.

Hi all,

We've discussed this in office and we'll definitely be doing a webchat on pelvic organ prolapse in the future. We don't have a specific time and date for this yet (and it might take us a while to find one) but it's definitely going ahead.

Many thanks to all who contributed. Flowers

Hi all, we've been in touch with Sherrie Palm at Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support.org who has agreed to join us for a webchat on Tuesday 23 January between 9 and 10pm. We'll start a new discussion thread for this approx one week before-hand where you can post up advance questions. As soon as this is up we'll link to the new thread from here and also promote across the site.

Many thanks to you all for suggesting this.
