Yes I agree. I've been using my experience to educate all of my gym buddies and employees in the warehouse who constantly lift boxes. I've never heard of pelvic organ prolapse until it happened to me. I feel that the information should at least be svston the gynecologist office. Had I not seen my primary care doctor for bladder issues, it would've taken longer to get to the root of the problem.

It took 17 months, 2 cat scans, 2 MRIs, colonoscopy and my GP sending me to 12 healthcare professionals before a OBGYN said I likely had a prolapse based on my symptoms, the same symptoms I'd given everyone I saw. He tried a pressary after I did 3 months of pelvic floor therapy and could no long squeeze due to the ever falling prolapse. I went to what I thought was a OBGYN who told me I definitely did not have a prolapse. I'd wait months to appointments until I found a doctor that examined me both lying down and standing up. Had Vagina atrophy and Vagina prolapsing. Tried the Mona Lisa Touch which was suggested but after two treatments when I mentioned I was worse and not better I was told the treatments wouldn't help my ever more painful prolapse! I wish the Mayo Clinic had a branch near Reno. I am waiting for a surgery appointment and it's been two weeks. Also found that the reason no tests or exams showed a prolapse was I was lying down! I had fleetingly wondered if that could be the problem but thought surly doctors would know that! Truly unbelievable lack of female doctors with knowledge where I live in NV. No one should have to wait 4 1/2 months to see a doctor and then only been examined by a doctors assistant. If I had a heart issue or cancer I would have been seen immediately and been on a path to better health after a few appointments. Likely this will be the two year mark before I actually have the surgery. Can't get a second option because only one doctor has the necessary qualifications needed, unbelievable. I would go to the Mayo Clinic but sitting is a killer and flying is out of the question since the prolapse presses on my rectum and everything else.
