In this webinar, we will discuss the pathophysiology, risk factors and clinical presentation of pelvic organ prolapse and how this can affect bladder, bowel and sexual function.
Using case studies, we will discuss the different management strategies that are available in primary care, including for those women who are postpartum and outline various surgical procedures that your patients may be offered if required.
