Have you ever heard the term prolapse and wondered what that meant? I know I have.
Donna Wilson, RN (she/her) joins us today to chat about all about prolapse, including some mythbusting on prolapse hot topics (no pessaries dont cause infection and yes you can have sex with prolapse!). She also chats about the ins and outs of pessaries. Take a listen and let us know your thoughts!
