Prolapse Problems: Prolapse Prevention, Symptoms and Treatment

Prolapse Problems: Prolapse Prevention, Symptoms and Treatment (Woman to Woman with Margaret Miles Book 1)

Prolapse is a very common problem

Many women suffer from pelvic organ prolapse, but few talk about it. It's an area of women's health that is locked behind a wall of silence, caused primarily by embarrassment. Millions of women suffer - for no good reason.

This reluctance to talk means nobody knows exact numbers but it is estimated that over half of women who have had children will end up with some kind of prolapse.

Prolapses can be prevented, managed and successfully treated but only if you ask for help. That means knowing the right questions to ask. Doctors are busy and can lack time to give useful explanations to women who are embarrassed, or don't know how to push for clear answers.

It is for those women - including you, perhaps - that Margaret Miles wrote Prolapse Problems.

Margaret Miles 'put up with it'.

Margaret is a regular woman who put up with a double prolapse for many years. She didn't talk about it. Even to her doctor. At first it was just a bit uncomfortable 'down there' and Margaret persuaded herself that it was just part of the changes that happen to a woman's body as she gets older.

After the birth of her third child she suffered repeated bouts of cystitis. Her doctor casually mentioned that she might have a 'slight' prolapse and asked Margaret if she suffered from stress incontinence. Out of embarrassment, Margaret said no, even though the answer really was yes.

So nothing was done. The doctor offered no more information and Margaret didn't understand the implications. Like so many other women she just got on with her life. But of course, without management or treatment prolapses don't get better. What starts out as a minor discomfort eventually becomes a serious problem.

Why Margaret Miles wrote Prolapse Problems: Prolapse Prevention, Symptoms and Treatment

There are seven types of pelvic organ prolapse. Prolapse of the bladder is most common, followed by a prolapsed uterus and then that of the rectum. Weakening or tearing of support muscles in the pelvic region lead to parts of those organs bulging into the vagina, and in extreme cases actually protruding out.

Margaret finally sought medical advice and had a small operation to succesfully repair her prolapses. After years of discomfort, embarrassment and worry a great weight was lifted.

She did the unthinkable and talked to other people about what she had been through and how it had, at last, been dealt with. What amazed her was how many of her friends and relatives admitted that they, too, had been suffering in silence. Some very badly. And yet, the wall of silence that surrounds prolapse had prevented any of them from seeking help or advice.

That soon changed. One of Margaret's friends was advised by her doctor to do Kegel exercises and has seen great improvements. Two others have now also undergone minor surgical procedures to repair their prolapses and are enjoying new leases of life.

Margaret realized that information and knowledge is important and so sat down to write a 'plain English' guide to prolapse to explain the options a woman has and, hopefully, set her on to the road to a more comfortable life.

This is not a longwinded medical book and Margaret has no medical qualifications. It is 43 pages of simple, clear advice from one woman to another. She stresses the importance of seeking qualified medical advice. Her hope is that by writing about the problem in clear language women will be empowered to finally stop 'putting up with it' and start asking the right questions of the right people.

As Margaret has three daughters, she also hopes that the sections on exercises and prevention will help future generations learn how to better manage their bodies so that one day a lot fewer women will suffer from this very unpleasant condition.
