Abstract
First paragraph: Pelvic health problems – such as bladder and bowel leaks, pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding or vaginal prolapse – are a common experience for women. Yet despite how common these issues are and the serious effect they can have on a woman’s life, research shows that most women don’t seek help from their doctor.
