Confused...I have a question>>>>

Body: 

I have been reading the site and wondering something...is his book "Saving the Whole Woman"...telling us that we don't have to have surgery for pelvic organ prolapse? I have had two failed surgical repairs for this, and if I knew that I could manage this condition I would never have had surgery in the first place!! Can someone shed some light on this for me? I have been reading many of the posts and it seems that you can manage this whole thing without surgery?? Sorry for being so dense, but how is this done??? Or is this what the book is about?? Thank you!

Hi dearie,

Yes, this work is all about stabilizing and reversing prolapse without surgery. It is a revolution in women's health and you can see that scores of women have seen positive results after returning to their natural pelvic organ support system - which has everything to do with maintaining the natural shape of the spine.

Hi Samnabby

You are not dense. Women all over the world are still told that surgery is the only answer. On the whole you can't find out about non-surgical means of active management if it doesn't exist (particularly as it does not seem to exist at all in the medical system).

This site has only been going since 2002(?). It is only since Christine has done her research and developed WholeWoman model that women have known the questions we need to ask before embarking on surgery. If I had not been fortunate enough to have internet access and an enquiring mind I too would probably have had the sort of surgical repairs that you have had, and would possibly be suffering the way you are. I was certainly offered similar repair procedures but declined as I was experiencing such good progress using Christine's methods. It is all a work in progress. We all hope that we can actively manage our POPs without surgery, which the book says we can do, and it makes great sense to me. None of us knows what state our POPs will be in twenty years from now, but I am optimistic. We may all have to eat our words in time. I'll deal with that then, and enjoy my very active life now, while I can. I feel so lucky and give thanks daily for Christine's work.

I can only feel so sorry that you and so many other women were unable to access this information prior to surgery, and are having to deal with subsequent problems. I feel that young women like my daughter will have different experiences and will at least know about prevention and non-surgical management of POP in a way that we were completely ignorant of. I do hope that you can get some benefit from Wholewoman, and that you will be able to keep your regrets as simply regrets, and not beat up on yourself and blame yourself for what has happened.

Best wishes

you posted, I am so sorry for all you have gone through. Someone told me 3 years ago that surgery was inevitable. Then, miraculously, I found Christine's dvd and this site. I have been managing prolapse for 3 years and am confident surgery will never be necessary. I tried everything I could to get rid of prolapse -- hasn't happened; but, ironically, though it's still there, it's completely manageable, my life is more rich and active than ever, and there are things that can be done to stabilize and even reverse the condition. Your work will be to apply the principles in a post-surgical condition. This may require more work, but remember, even Christine had a procedure done, and she's pioneering the work. Wishing you all the best. Your input and insight is valuable.
