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.

Odor
Hi Goobug,
I also had a strong odor until I realized that I was leaking urine without knowing it. My PT told me that with a cystocele, the urethra can kink which means there's always some urine left behind. She recommended "double voiding", which means when you think you're done peeing, get up from the toilet, stand a bit, and sit back down. The change in position is supposed to help get the last of the urine out. I always lean forward a bit, too. You'd be surprised how much more pee comes out. Since I started doing that, I haven't had any odor at all.
Just keep an eye on it, because you don't want to have any odor that's associated with some kind of delivery-related infection.

pads
Definitely rule out infection ASAP.
I wonder if the pads are the culprit. I have not used disposable pads for years but did recently when away from home, and whoa nellie, I was NOT impressed with the odor! Perhaps try using cloth instead and see if that makes a difference?
