A Seat on the Aisle, Please!Pelvic-Floor Prolapse

A Seat on the Aisle, Please!: Pelvic-Floor Prolapse [Pelvic organ prolapse is a complicated problem for both women and their doctors. For women, the shame, embarrassment, and belief that nothing can be done prevent them from seeking treatment. Physicians often don’t recognize a prolapse when they examine a patient, or they don’t know where to send patients when they do. Gynecologists and urologists with special training in the management of prolapse are sprouting up all over the country (see Chapter 3). As we all get older, our bodies change, often resulting in problems that interfere with a healthy lifestyle. Treatment of these debilitating conditions will help women return to the social and physical activities that are essential for us, regardless of our age. No one is too old or too young to have pelvic-floor prolapse and its associated urinary issues. Nor is anyone too old or too young to seek treatment. Both surgical and nonsurgical choices are available and nearly all evaluation and management is covered by conventional insurance. See a physician, get examined, gather information, and then make an informed decision regarding your own condition. You will be surprised at how much this small step will change your life!] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Pelvic organ prolapse is a complicated problem for both women and their doctors. For women, the shame, embarrassment, and belief that nothing can be done prevent them from seeking treatment. Physicians often don’t recognize a prolapse when they examine a patient, or they don’t know where to send patients when they do. Gynecologists and urologists with special training in the management of prolapse are sprouting up all over the country (see Chapter 3). As we all get older, our bodies change, often resulting in problems that interfere with a healthy lifestyle. Treatment of these debilitating conditions will help women return to the social and physical activities that are essential for us, regardless of our age. No one is too old or too young to have pelvic-floor prolapse and its associated urinary issues. Nor is anyone too old or too young to seek treatment. Both surgical and nonsurgical choices are available and nearly all evaluation and management is covered by conventional insurance. See a physician, get examined, gather information, and then make an informed decision regarding your own condition. You will be surprised at how much this small step will change your life!]
