One of these is for advanced stage pelvic organ prolapse (POP). </p> <p>POP is a gynaecological condition that can have a huge impact on a woman’s quality of life. A prolapse happens when one or more of the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus and bowel) slip down from their normal position and into the vagina, causing a bulge. </p> <p>If the prolapse is left untreated, it can slowly get worse, in rare cases, advanced stage prolapse can cause obstruction of the kidneys or even inability to pass urine which can result in infection or damage to the kidneys. POP can have a devastating impact on women’s lives. </p> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-medium"></div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" alt="" width="750" height="500" data-srcset="https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20141115_AH_918.jpg 1000w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20141115_AH_918-300x200.jpg 300w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20141115_AH_918-768x512.jpg 768w" data-src="http://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20141115_AH_918.jpg" data-sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" class="wp-image-2143 lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" /></figure></div> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-large"></div> <h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>The Challenge in Ethiopia </strong></h3> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <p>Prolapse affects women around the world, however across Africa there is a much higher number of women living with the condition and treatment can be difficult to access. </p> <p>In Ethiopia, a combination of high fertility rates, early pregnancy, childhood malnutrition, a lack of access to maternal and women’s healthcare services and high levels of physical work can result in higher rates of prolapse. Due to a lack of awareness about the issue and lack of access to care women often live with this condition for years. </p> <p>Patients usually arrive at <a href="http://hamlinfistula.org/en/what-we-do/treatment-program/">Hamlin hospitals</a> with already advanced stage POP, and subsequent complications – including bleeding, infection, recurring UTIs, decubitus ulcers, urinary obstruction and renal failure. </p> <p>Like obstetric fistula, prolapse has devastating physical and psychological impacts on a woman. </p> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-large"></div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" alt="" width="750" height="500" data-srcset="https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20151020_JK_152.jpg 1000w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20151020_JK_152-300x200.jpg 300w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20151020_JK_152-768x512.jpg 768w" data-src="http://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20151020_JK_152.jpg" data-sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" class="wp-image-2146 lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" /></figure></div> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-large"></div> <h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>Hope for Prolapse Patients </strong></h3> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <p>Treatment for advanced stage pelvic organ prolapse, including surgery, can dramatically improve a woman’s health and quality of life. </p> <p>Despite the increased attention given to maternal health In Ethiopia, there has been little focus on improving public health services for women with prolapse. Many gynaecologists do not have access to updated surgical training and supplies. Prolapse remains one of the most common gynaecological problems in the country. </p> <p>Thankfully, all six Hamlin fistula hospitals have a specialist surgeon with urogynecology skills to undertake surgical repair of advanced stage POP. This life-changing treatment is free of charge to patients. Last year alone, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia conducted 1477 surgeries for advanced stage POP. </p> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-medium"></div> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" alt="" width="768" height="512" data-srcset="https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/IMG_1086-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/IMG_1086-300x200.jpg 300w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/IMG_1086-768x512.jpg 768w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/IMG_1086.jpg 1500w" data-src="http://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/IMG_1086-1024x683.jpg" data-sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" class="wp-image-2147 lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" /></figure></div> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer is-style-large"></div> <h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>Emama’s Story </strong></h3> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <p>Emama, 60, recently received successful surgery at Hamlin’s Bahir Dar Fistula Hospital to treat a POP that she had suffered with for 10 years. </p> <p>She told us: <em>“I felt ashamed to tell anyone what had happened, even my husband.
