Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The POP Awareness Campaign is an initiative to create much needed awareness about the common female health issue pelvic organ prolapse prior to POP occurring rather than after diagnosis. With recognition of symptoms and causes comes the potential for earlier recognition and less aggressive treatment. POP is a global women's health issue.
When not working on the POP Awareness Campaign or APOPS support group, Sherrie likes to spend time with her local Special Olympics group and will donate a portion of book proceeds to her Special Olympics kids.
Sherrie hosts educational seminars on POP. Her goals are:
1.Create awareness about this common health issue and help women become comfortable talking about it.
2.Make the acronym POP for pelvic organ prolapse become commonly known.
3.Encourage the medical community to start educating women about this health concern and the importance of Kegel strengthening awareness at the first pelvic exam rather than waiting until POP becomes an active physical condition.
4.Create awareness about POP issues that occur in third world countries.
5.Initiate APOPS support groups for women in all phases of pelvic organ prolapse treatment.
