Have you ever heard of pelvic organ prolapse or POP? Maybe not! Unless you or someone you know has suffered from it or has had treatment from a women's health physiotherapist for it, you might never have heard of pelvic prolapse. In fact, there's no guarantee you would be familiar with it even then. Because prolapse can cause embarrassing symptoms, women can sometimes find it difficult to talk about.
Yet pelvic organ prolapse is surprisingly common.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) reports that up to
50% of all women have some degree of prolapse.
Some of them don't even know they have it!
