I too had no idea what was happening to my aging but healthy body when I first felt something poking out where I least expected. It was frightening and my ob gyn nurse practitioner glibly said “oh it’s probably just your bladder falling down”. Thanks to this book more women don’t need to be needlessly frightened or made to feel it’s just nothing. And this book says yes…it is something. And you’re not alone! Courageously written…it couldn’t have been easy to write so personally unless the author knew it would benefit others who suffer from prolapse and feel alone. There are difficult decisions to be made on treatment options and this is one that’s often not even addressed. Thanks to the author for addressing it.

This is a courageous sharing of a medical condition which very few women will talk about as it is just too personal for casual conversation with anyone except our very closest friends. I have had this condition and several years ago found several Facebook support groups helpful. The author shared her experiences with one of the groups I am in. I bought her book thinking there would not be much new she could possibly say, but I was pleasantly surprised how much I learned from this candid account of her experiences with prolapse, the surgery, and her recovery at home. I am hoping to have this surgery this summer and this book helped me feel safer about it. Thank you Judith!

I am very glad that I read this book. It helped with my fears and helped me realize the benefit of my surgery decision.

I applaud the author for sharing her personal story. I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering with pelvic prolapse issues.

This book gives a frank discussion of a health problem many women face but few are willing to discuss. Very informative for women regardless of whether they've faced this problem yet or not. I highly recommend it.

This book has concrete advice for helping women understand to fix prolapse problems. It's extremely informative on a subject that is difficult to get good info on.

I found this book useful because it details a very personal experience. Doctors rarely have the time to go into much detail and I found the book very useful in explaining what to expect both before and after the operation.

This well written book takes you through the day-by-day of living with 4th degree prolapse, the decision to have surgery, the surgery day and the recovery period. It is extremely personal and helpful with practical tips for how to prepare for the operation. The author says she had to overcome her embarrassment to write the book which wasn’t easy. Women with prolapse panic when it happens muchlike young girls who are not educated about their first period. She mentions a supportive social mediaprivate women’s group to join. Doctors reading this book would know how to improve the quality of care for us. I hope they finally do.

This right here is a story each and every female (also male and everyone else) should read.The horror and struggles are very real and the information to prevent this is just not out there. This is an injustice to all who are born with a vagina.Her story (without the embarrassment) of a debilitating condition which women have no control over and have not had for many previous centuries. Thank you Judith.

Perfect book for someone going through the same issue. Provides a lot of information and helping tips.

I found this book to be very informative on a personal level. It explains how the author felt about her condition and how it impacted on her life. She give's a very informative look at the surgery, her doctor and her relationships with friends and family. She gives hope to those facing this condition with a calming tone to the writing. The story tells the gravity of the condition while balancing it with light moments of humor and a sense of hope. If you are going to have this surgery this book is also a good reference source of needed information.

The author writes an account of how it was for her to face a life of increasing discomfort and the decision to have surgery to repair the problem. Sometimes there aren’t any perfect choices.  This book gives women a good idea of what they will face and how to recover with humor and grace.  I am glad I read it. Very informative and worthwhile.  She thanks her doctor which is a good sign that the operation was a success.
