Let’s break the silence and talk openly about prolapse, pessaries, postpartum & aging – join us for an eye-opening event with Helen Ledwick.
Ever heard of prolapse? What does it have to do with lifting heavy things, childbirth, or menopause? And what’s that mysterious bulge you’ve been wondering about? Well, it’s time to get familiar!
Let’s face it—our bodies go through a lot as we age and after childbirth, and prolapse is one of those things that no one warns you about. But guess what? You’re not alone! Nearly 3 percent of women in the U.S. experience prolapse, and for women over 50, it might be closer to half.

Helen’s journey from cluelessness to empowerment is as real as it gets—she’s spilling all the tea on prolapse, from doctor visits to pessary fittings, and everything in between.
