Public Forum: Childbirth and the pelvic floor - new solutions to age old problems

Did you know:
25% of ALL women, and 50% of women who give birth, suffer symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse.
Symptoms include, urinary and bowel incontinence and sexual dysfunction.
Most women suffer in silence because of the embarrassing nature of these symptoms and the poor public awareness of the condition.

The Ritchie centre, in conjunction with the Continence Foundation of Australia, Jean Hailes and Southern Health, is hosting a public forum to explain the causes of pelvic organ prolapse, ways to manage the symptoms and the cutting edge research being done to improve outcomes for women.

Check out www.ritchiecolloquium.org for details about the speakers at the public forum and to register your interest.

When: Wednesday 12th September 2012, 6-8pm,
Where: RMIT Storey Hall, 344 Swanston Street, Melbourne.

This issue affects 1 in 4 of all women and 1 in 2 of all mothers, so tell your mum, your sister, your grandma, your aunt, your niece and all your friends to be at this public forum to learn the latest preventative strategies and treatment options.
