The subliminal message the feminine gender receive from early childhood on is we should not look at, talk about, or acknowledge the vagina. It's no wonder women have a difficult time understanding female pelvic health, or interpreting symptoms such as incontinence, constipation, pelvic pain, or vaginal tissue bulge. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is estimated to impact 50% of the female population, and these symptoms along with others are clear indicators - yet women are seldom screened for POP during routine pelvic exams despite childbirth and menopause being leading POP causal factors.
