In 2011 @ transvag mesh meeting, well-established urogyn/researcher stated women in early POP stage don't have symptoms. I clarified that women w POP have symptoms, they just don't know what they mean since few talk about POP.

Pelvic exams include screening 4 many conditions. Some common, some not. Why the shortfall in POP curriculum provided to practitioners in multiple fields servicing pelvic exams? 50% prevalence speaks for itself.

Who wants 2 experience discomfort or embarrassment w sex? No one. Will surg or nonsurg treatments return women 2 satisfying sex sooner?

Grassroots most difficult campaign, but most impactful addressing stigmatized health.
