Summary

One in three women will experience urinary incontinence in their lifetime. Half of all women who've had a baby will have prolapse symptoms. These numbers are indisputable, and for too long they've been treated as inevitable. In this Moonshot Moment, MUTU System CEO and Founder Wendy Powell – a member of StartUp Health’s Women’s Health Moonshot Community – draws a sharp line between what's common and what's acceptable, and explains why fixing these conditions, not just managing them, is the real goal. From NHS prescriptions to employer benefits programs to equity in maternal health, Wendy makes the case for what accessible, evidence-based pelvic health care can look like for millions of women.
