Follow on Google News | Wisconsin State Senators Lazich and Taylor Shift Women's Health ForwardWisconsin is the first state to generate legislative momentum in pelvic organ prolapse dynamic by proclaiming June POP Awareness Month with Joint Resolution 71, introduced by Wisconsin State Senators Mary Lazich and Lena Taylor.
It is estimated that half the female population silently suffers with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) symptoms such as incontinence, constipation, tissue bulge, and painful intimacy. Childbirth and menopause are the most common POP causal factors, yet no standardized screening protocol exists during routine pelvic exams. Discovery upon diagnosis is the norm for most women experiencing this common, cryptic condition. Patient and practitioner misconceptions abound. The stigma of embarrassing symptoms has kept POP shrouded in silence despite medical records dating back 4000 years to the Kahun Papyrus. There is significant need for healthcare, industry, academia, and legislature to address lack of POP awareness and healthcare policy to generate forward momentum regarding the biggest secret in women's health. Wisconsin Senate Joint Resolution 71 is a significant step forward to address the next big shift in women's health directives. Presentations will begin at 11:00AM; the walk to follow presentations. In the event of rain, under roof presentations will be followed with a POP info share/Q& http://www.pelvicorganprolapsesupport.org/ End
