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.

Remember, the forum is here for two reasons. First, to get your questions answered by other women who have knowledge and experience to share. Second, it is the place to share your results and successes. Your stories will help other women learn that Whole Woman is what they need.
Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Hi Mara
I haven't had either of the conditions you mentioned, but I see why you are both quite worried. It is really good that you are both aware enough to have them checked out and have not been totally paralysed by the fear of what you might find out. I say not totally paralysed because it must be very difficult having undiagnosed conditions and actually facing up to the fact that you both have had to find out what it is, rather than hide your heads in the sand and deny that something is not normal, apart from the pain and discomfort that you are both experiencing.
I can only encourage both of you to take on board what you find out, and *don't be pushed into any invasive or surgical treatments without finding out independently what is involved, what your options are, the risks of all possible treatments etc.*
Get other opinions. This is very important. Fear plays a bit part in this, and it is important that you recognise the effect it may have on your decision-making, particularly if the doctors you are dealing with are not conservative types, conservative meaning doctors who would rather not remove bits of you if they can treat just as well with non-invasive methods.
This is not saying that you should be dictating to the doctors concerned, but that you need to satisfy yourselves that the treatment decisions you make are not made with fear as the main motivator. You need to be satisfied that the chosen treatments are right for you, and that you are not unnecessarily hurried with the process.
In a sense it is fortunate for both of you that you are in this together. I don't have sisters or brothers. Many women have to deal with these experiences with very little support or understanding from others. It is tough though, that either of you have to experience it at all.
Hope this doesn't sound like fear-mongering. So often women are left out of treatment decisions, with the doctors deciding what treatment will be done.
Good luck with next week. Let us know how both of you go. Would your sister like to register for the Forums as well?

Never assume that two people
Never assume that two people with the same symptoms have the same cause. In addition, your sister should not assume that she does not have prolapse, just because there is a concomitant "thickening" of her tissues. This word is meaningless; the doctor will need to discover the cause of the thickening. She does need to be very careful not to be talked into irreversible procedures.
