FM107.1 - St. Paul/Minneapolis - Living Life Out Loud

You are invited!

FM107.1 is proud to have Kevyn Burger back as our host for the Women's Wellness Series on Pelvic Health Issues.

You may have simply accepted problems like excessive bleeding during your period or incontinence as a normal part of your life or of the aging process. But pelvic health issues are not normal... and more importantly they are not necessarily something you must accept.

Join Kevyn, along with doctors James Presthus & Mandi Beman of MN Gynecology & Surgery - for a frank discussion about the pelvic health issues that may be eroding your quality of life.

Female urinary incontinence, excessive menstrual bleeding and prolapse are the new taboos - the issues we talk about in hushed whispers. Meanwhile, adult undergarments are a multi-million dollar business. And each year - approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed in the US, with more than 20% intended to treat excessive menstrual bleeding.

We hope to help you understand pelvic health issues and provide you with available solutions. Silence keeps people sick. With millions of women coping with these conditions, it's time to find a way to talk openly and comfortably about them. The Women's Wellness Series is a forum for this conversation.

What: An open discussion about fibroids & incontinence

Who: Kevyn Burger, Dr. James Presthus & Dr. Mandi Beman of MN Gynecology & Surgery

When: Friday, November, 13th, 2009. Social Hour at 6pm. Program from 7-9pm
