APOPS

APOPS, Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support, is an international 501(c)3 nonprofit support network that provides education, guidance, support, and assistance for women with any stage/type of pelvic organ prolapse.

"Pelvic organ prolapse is seldom life threatening but it is always life altering. POP is a GLOBAL women's health pandemic; millions of women around the world in developing and developed countries alike suffer in silence from the physical, emotional, social, sexual, and financial ramifications of POP. Awareness of pelvic organ prolapse can only occur when we share what we know with others. It is my hope that as we continue to do what women do best-network, guide, and provide support for each other-POP will soon become common knowledge."

Sherrie Palm, APOPS Founder/President
