A brutally honest, and at times pee your pants funny, tale about one woman’s journey through motherhood with a condition that affects approximately half of all females, pelvic organ prolapse. This moving memoir is one woman’s inspirational story about the traumatic birth of her first child and subsequent diagnosis of the chronic condition, pelvic organ prolapse. Wrapped within an engaging account of living with prolapse is an insightful glimpse into what it means to be a mother battling chronic pain, embarrassing side effects, and depression in a society that often idealizes motherhood as a time of bliss and joy, and dismisses this embarrassing, and often debilitating, condition. Inspiration for her healing comes from the most unlikely of places, the heart-wrenching struggles of women in the developing world. A startlingly honest, elegant, and often humorous depiction of life with pelvic organ prolapse, And Then My Uterus Fell Out, calls out to all women around the world who suffer in silence with a life-affirming message of dignity, hope, and sisterhood. Keywords: pelvic organ prolapse, running with prolapse, uterine prolapse, bladder prolapse, incontinence, childbirth, birth trauma, special needs parenting, adoption REVIEWS: This is an honest and detailed account of living with a wearing, relentless condition which pervades every aspect of the lives of millions of women. It will be helpful for anyone who has prolapse, or lives with someone who has prolapse, or professionals who care for people with these conditions. It is rare to get such insight into the impact pelvic organ prolapse has into a patient's life - so, this book will be valuable for many people. Well worth a read. Piper's book is utterly relatable to those of us with POP and an eye opener for those who find themselves wondering "what all the fuss is about." From the dismissal of doctors to the struggle of caring for your brand new baby when you have just been hit by an emotional and physical trick to how each and everyone chooses to deal with this one it arrives - it is all within these pages. I found myself wishing for some magical, happy, all fixed ending for her. I read this book so that I would be able to better understand pelvic organ prolapse. It wasn't until halfway through the book that I discovered that I suffer from prolapse myself and that health problems that I've suffered with for years are as a result of it. I now have a sense of hope about the future of those issues. I didn't realize when I sat down to read this book that it would literally change the course of my life! Piper's highly personal story is heartbreaking and yet told with humour and threaded with hope. I admire her determination and her willingness to share her experience in order to help others. My hope is that many other women will read it and begin a dialogue about this hushed topic. Heart breaking, honest and a worthy read for any woman. A well written informative must read for all women and their partners about a life altering condition that up to now women have suffered in silence-kudos to the author for sharing her story

For any woman who has experienced illness, chronic pain, or endometriosis comes an inspiring memoir advocating for recognition of women's health issues In the fall of 2010, Abby Norman's strong dancer's body dropped forty pounds and gray hairs began to sprout from her temples. She was repeatedly hospitalized in excruciating pain, but the doctors insisted it was a urinary tract infection and sent her home with antibiotics. Unable to get out of bed, much less attend class, Norman dropped out of college and embarked on what would become a years-long journey to discover what was wrong with her. It wasn't until she took matters into her own hands -- securing a job in a hospital and educating herself over lunchtime reading in the medical library -- that she found an accurate diagnosis of endometriosis. In Ask Me About My Uterus, Norman describes what it was like to have her pain dismissed, to be told it was all in her head, only to be taken seriously when she was accompanied by a boyfriend who confirmed that her sexual performance was, indeed, compromised. Putting her own trials into a broader historical, sociocultural, and political context, Norman shows that women's bodies have long been the battleground of a never-ending war for power, control, medical knowledge, and truth. It's time to refute the belief that being a woman is a preexisting condition.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse, or POP, is a little-talked-about female health issue that half of all childbearing women will experience late in life. There are more than 300,000 surgeries for POP annually.Due to various causes such as menopause, estrogen loss, genetics, childbirth, or heavy lifting, a woman's pelvic organs can shift or drop. This can lead to POP symptoms, including some painful and embarrassing ones, as well as impacting a woman's sexuality.The condition has probably always existed, but has received little press or public acknowledgement so women could learn about the condition and treatment options. This book on POP fills an unfortunate void in women's health awareness.Sherrie Palm writes about her own personal experiences in Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic. She had never heard about the condition until she needed surgery for it. Palm explores the subject from all angles, providing the information women need to recognize the symptoms of POP and to become advocates for their own health.Pelvic Organ Prolapse: The Silent Epidemic named the winner for Women's Health in the USA Book News National "BEST BOOKS 2009" Awards. http: //www.usabooknews.com/2009bestbooksawards.html More information about Sherrie Palm, and how she is creating awareness for this women's health issue, can be found on her website: http: //sherriepalm.com/home About the Author: First-time author Sherrie Palm is a retired business owner. She lives in Wisconsin with her significant other; she has four children and seven grandchildren. Palm plans to conduct educational seminars on POP. She is also actively involved with the local Special Olympics and will donate a portion of the book's proceeds to the group.
