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!

Members who have had surgical repairs
Hi Grandma Jo
There are a few women who have had prolapse repair surgery but most of us are, like you, trying to avoid it, in my case because of the unpredictable risks of complication and chronic pain. We would prefer not to change the way our pelvic organs are supported. All surgery changes the way the pelvic organs are supported.
We believe that the female body was designed to support the pelvic organs and we work towards using our bodies in ways that reinforce that, with posture, diet, clothing, exercise, and the way we go about our lives.
If you want to check out the experiences of women who have had surgery you will need to keep an eye out for them when they post. You could use the search box at left by keying in the names of specific surgical procedures but they might not be easy to find.
You do not say specifically which procedure/s the doctor thinks is appropriate. The post-hysterectomy Forum may also be relevant to you. There are also lots of websites that promote these surgical procedures. Some have Community Forums that are littered with women who are having problems after one or several procedures. No doubt there are also some women who are happy with the results of their surgery.
Cheers
Louise

Hi Grandma Jo
If you read the main website FAQ's you will see that there is more to pelvic organ prolapse than your doctor makes out, ie more than having babies and age. From this website you can also learn different ways to use your body for lifting and other ways to prevent it from worsening, and how to identify good and bad ways of accomplishing tasks. It is wonderful news that the pessary helps, but there are lots of other things you can do as well.
Cheers
