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.

as far as I know, christine is the only show in town. meaning, nowhere else have I found anyone addressing non surgical management of prolapse. I doubt anyone's been following women who turn down surgery.
all I can say is that I found my prolapse when my third child was 18 mo old. he turned 5 in november. so I'm approaching the 4 year mark and I'm doing pretty well, I think. mine was a symptomatic gr3 and is now, depending on the day, maybe a 2? and asymptomatic.
this is most likely a life-long management program, but I'm willing to manage it this way rather than take my chances with surgery.
and congrats on the new baby!

Thanks Granolamum for helping me gain perspective. I imagine this website would be well placed to capture valuable information about women's prolapse grade and quality of life. Do you know whether Christine has considered tracking such information via this site? Specifically, data fields like date of birth, date of diagnosis, pregnancy details, prolapse type, initial prolapse grade & whether symptomatic (or not), current grade & whether symptomatic (or not), surgery treatment or not, etc might be useful. Also, if data was captured in an accurate & reliable way perhaps it could be used to apply for grants to help find out more about non surgical management of prolapse. I ask these questions cause I work with data (for cancer) for a living and wish there was more prolapse information available.

I know this has come up before, and I totally agree, this site is ripe with information!
I think the issue was time and focus. its hard to do it all, kwim?
