Holding The Ball: How I survived pelvic organ prolapse - without surgery!
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Health, Fitness & Dieting

“It feels as if there is a ball – like a golf ball – trying to come down between my legs...” This was how Julia Kaye described one of her symptoms to her doctor when she suddenly experienced what turned out to be a prolapse of her womb and bladder. This personal and engaging account of Julia’s experience is essential reading for any woman interested in learning how to manage or avoid pelvic organ prolapse – a distressing condition which affects up to a third of all women in the USA and the UK. In this book, Julia explains how she learned various ways of managing this and other symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, and so was able to avoid surgery and other invasive procedures which at first had seemed inevitable. "This book has been written as a direct result of personal experience. I was diagnosed with prolapse of the uterus and bladder in December 2010 and have managed to overcome this without surgery - even though two doctors and a gynaecology consultant were all pointing me in this direction, and offering a vaginal ring pessary as the only other option. I have been spared much misery and trauma by sheer luck, through having had the right people around me; my yoga teacher (a trained counsellor) who helped me work through the emotional issues, and a friend who told me about gynaecological physiotherapy and suggested that I insist on being referred for this treatment."
