When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

I am almost identical to you...if my bowels are somewhat full my prolapse is much worse almost to the point of hanging out. I take laxitives and do what ever it takes to stay empty. Not good but better then seeing my bladder between my legs. I have a ring pessary with support that I used a lot when first diagnosed...and it worked well for me. Now as long as I keep my colon clear...I can go without the pessary. I try to use only milder laxitives, but sometimes it takes more....good luck, and it won't hurt to try a pessary. I found the ring easy to insert and take out.....Marilu

Hi,
I am in my seventies also. My prolapse is second degree but sometimes if I've been on my feet for a long period and I don't have my pessary in place it will peak out and be very uncomfortable.
So I don't have to strain on the toilet, I try to eat 25 grams of fiber a day, whole grains and lots of fruit and vegetables.
I cut out sugar and as much processed foods as I can and that helps to keep me fairly regular. If I'm a bit bound up I take a fiber supplement or extra magnesium.
There are times when I take a laxative that I get from the health food store.
I do take digestive enzymes before a meal and it does help with digestion.
I also try to(most of the time),sit and walk and in the whole woman posture and it helps to keep everything stabilized.
If you don't know about the wholewoman posture go to the main page and read the FAQ.
There is a lot of information in them. If you can, get Christine's book "Saving the Whole Woman." It can be ordered from the Whole Woman Store.
I think having a pessary is preferable to having surgery. I know it is my preference.
If you have any more questions do ask them and some one will try to answer them.
Regards,
Flora.
