rectocele

Body: 

I am 63 years old and have a rectocele which at times can really be uncomfortable. I have always had constipation and am improving my diet. It can be visible through the vagina at time. I can't have surgery due to no insurance and won't be on medicare for over 1 year. Any suggesitons to help alleviate problem to some degree. I know it's not going to just go away.

Hi Chattylady and welcome to wholewoman,

I would suggest that you buy the book :)

Everything we know is in the book and on this website. We will also have a dvd available in a few short weeks that will contain a great workout and other lifestyle tips. You are right that these conditions do not go away on their own, but they can become very manageable with the right care.

Wishing you well,

Christine

Good to see you pop in (no pun intended). Any chance dvd's will be available for Christmas? Or, as a New Year's gift, perhaps? Can't wait; how exciting. And, hope you are well!

Hi Marie and thanks for asking :) I’m fine in most respects - just really busy right now. This weekend, Fri-Sun, will be the last of our camera work for the dvd and then it will be in post-production until the first of the year. So-o-o wanted to complete it this month, but we’ve done our very best. You’ll love the workout and the rest is chock-o-block with info, which I’m hoping will answer the “10,000 questions” (lol) that our core group responds to time and time again. Hugs!!

Yes; how is it that we seem to get so busy when perhaps our natural inclination is to hibernate (at least here in North America, as it's winter)? I keep asking myself this, and taking deep breaths to keep centered during a very busy time. One day at a time . . . Thanks for all of your hard work in producing the dvd. I mean it when I say I can't wait. I love the ballet workout, and know that you've probably gone leaps and bounds from there. Who knows, perhaps someday in the not too distant future, we'll be the 10,000 members with the 10,000 questions -- Be well!

Marie
