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.

urethrocele
I thought urethrocele and cystocele were interchangeable terms?

cystocele and urethrocele
I refer to the whole thing as my 'cystocele'
but technically speaking
cystocele refers to prolapse of the bladder
urethrocele refers to prolapse of the urethra
they very often happen together, but its entirely possible to have one and not the other.

Ridgy bits
Hi Rita
It sounds like normal vagina to me. The front wall of the vagina has ridges called rugae. When your bladder is pressing back against the vaginal wall they flatten out, then when the bladder tips forward they go ridgey again. It is probably round like a finger, cos you can feel your urethra through it.
Yes, the bottom of your vaginal canal and vulva is somewhat attached to your pubic bone. Otherwise it *would* all turn inside out like the finger of a rubber glove, and fall out.
This makes sense to me anyway. I hope it is right. You probably haven't felt or seen the rugae for a while because of the cystocele.
Hey, you're normal!!
Cheers
Louise
