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.

Walking with rectocele
Hi Marigold
As you know, I've had a similar concern about walking with my cystocele, in fact I haven't done much walking at all recently, I've been avoiding it. Well today I was unexpectedly forced to walk quite a distance to get to my Mum's house (complicated, but there was a fire nearby and the roads were closed). I didn't feel comfortable, but I just had to get on with it and hope for the best - and then later walk all round the supermarket too. Cystocele didn't make any positive moves, but didn't do anything terible either and I think the exercise produced the unexpected benefit of bowel movement (I can't believe we exchange bowel information.!) so that was very good news. Anyway, I think we should probably carry on walking, even if it is with gritted teeth, it has to be good for us. I hope someone else with rectocele also replies to you to give her opinion.
I haven't been on my bicycle at all this year, but I'm going to give it a go,as you found it helpful. My bike is the old 'sit up and beg' type so I think it will be easy to sit in posture. When you swim, what leg kick do you use? I can only really do breast stroke and I wondered if the action of the froggy leg kick would be OK.
Thanks for your support, big hug

uterine prolapse and walking
Since I am new at this and trying to be patient with this whole process of managing my prolapse I am also walking and just "bearing it" so to speak. I walk between 2-3 miles as a daily exercise and must constantly be aware of my posture, but I can still feel my prolapsed uterus for the most part while I walk. I don't think I've gotten the whole woman posture quite mastered yet. If anyone else has suggestions, please post. thanks.
