The Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support is an international nonprofit established to initiate awareness, education, guidance, and support for women in all stages of pelvic organ prolapse. Millions of women around the world, women in both developing and developed countries, suffer from different types of POP. What unites us is the need to know what we can do to help ourselves.
As APOPS grows, we will expand our path to include funding research and providing medical assistance for women in developing areas who have little access to health care.

Pelvic organ prolapse is not an American women's health issue, it is a global women's health issue. Although statistics indicate that this health issue is more common in the 50+ category, millions of women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s have POP issues as well. We need to change the awareness curve so ALL women become familiar with the symptoms of POP at a much younger age; early detection is key for less aggressive treatment.
There will always be a need for APOPS sponsors; both on an individual level as well as a corporate level. If you would like to assist APOPS in it's path to initiate support for this extremely common but still in the closet female health issue, you can access the APOPS website at the top of this page or contact Sherrie Palm, founder of APOPS, through one of the links below.
The following APOPS youtube provides more information.
