When Lori was first diagnosed with a form of pelvic organ prolapse, she felt a rush of emotions. “I was devastated,” she recalled. “It was alarming, and I didn’t know what to expect.” She had felt the unmistakable symptoms of the condition, a “fullness” in the pelvic area, and when she visited Logan Health Women’s Care – GYN, urogynecologist Robert Rogers, MD, immediately understood what was going on.
