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.

estrogen and prolapse
I really haven't heard of anyone taking estrogen in pill form to help with any type of prolapse. some here have experience with topical estrogen for prolapse, but I dont' know how effective it really is. as far as I know, all estrogen can do down there is help with dryness and plump up tissues. I dont' know if estrogen can put a prolapsing rectum back where it belongs and keep it there.
and welcome to the forum! I'd say start by going to the home page and reading the faqs. there *is* a lot of information here, and it can get overwhelming. ask as many questions as you like, that's probably one of the best ways to learn.
and not that you asked, but I can't seem to stop myself from giving out unsolicited advice, the number one thing to do to help your rectocele is to avoid constipation and not to strain on the toilet.

birth control pills
I'm new to this forum as well. I was also told by my OB that taking the pill and / or using topical estrogen could be helpful (but I think really more in just helping health of the tissue, not really improving the prolapse itself).
I am on the pill for 4 months now. I do not believe that my second degree rectocele, third degree cystocele or third degree uterine prolapse have changed. However, I was saggy at the opening of the vagina (I believe the technical term is gaping at the introuis) and this has definitely improved. For what it's worth....
