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.

Before I knew I had prolapse
Before I knew I had prolapse I had the "symptom" of the tampon only becoming red at the lower part, where the string attached. I was confused for a while but now of course know that it was being placed beside the uterus, not below it. You're not alone with the removal problem either. Usually if it is too dry that creates the "suction" so a little lube might have helped. If it hurts to pull, using a finger(s) to "break" the suction is the right thing - you did good. :)

I had tried the tampons-
I had tried the tampons- bought all cotton ones but the friction from the uterus when walking was too much even with KY lubricant-
Now am waiting for sores and infection caused by surgically placed and removed mesh ( i have some of my uterus left)before I get a pessary which I hope together with awareness of bowel/bladder functions and nite time removal and maybe special occasion usage to make the pessary work for me as an effort with foreign material surgically placed in my body has been indeed a disappointment. PS I have some good friends who rite now are just living with what sounds like my condition - Acceptance is their forte.
