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.

connection
wonder if there could be a connection btwn the two, one being a musculoskeletal disorder and the other fungul overgrowth? other than that the candida makes the tissue sensitive, could it perhaps weaken the fascia as well? maybe Christine can shed some light on this..

I was thinking perhaps the
I was thinking perhaps the tissue was already more sensitive which is why the thrush is sort of thriving more so now...but yes when I have thrush I do feel my prolapse a lot..which comes first? hmm

thrush and prolapse
I think it is, as usual, several factors.
Firstly, an organ out of place will be uncomfortable and prone to inflammation, and predisposed to thrush.
Secondly, an organ that is not tucked up inside the vagina will be closer to your knickers. Thrush is often in the digestive tract, so it will come out in poo, and may end up on the crotch of your knickers/undies, where it is a source of cross-infection.
Thirdly, chafing may occur where there is rubbing. Then any bug can get a hold more easily.
Fourthly, women who are nursing or perimenopausal, which I was for a long, long time, will have a more alkaline, and drier, more readily inflammed vulva and vagina, which predisposes towards thrush.
Fifthly, thrush will cause inflammation, which takes up more room, and which may worsen or initiate the sensations of prolapse symptoms. Many women have prolapse without knowing it. They may first realise they have prolapse when thrush enables them to feel it.

Thanks Louise
Those reasons do make a lot of sense :) I finished breast feeding 6 months ago or so, so that's past. I think it helps to know they are connected, and what that connection is, I feel like I have a bit more control. If I can reduce symptoms of my prolapse I might be better able to get on top of this thrush!

It is all dependent on each other.
Ah, Earthworm, ie sandworm, eh?
Yes, I agree. Improving one will make it easier to improve the other, and I think that when you finally get on top of the thrush your POP's will improve further as well.
It is all very whole body. Improve your posture, improve your diet by taking out inflammatory foods and introducing more anti-inflammatory foods, make your clothing fit your body (rather than the other way around, improve your exercise, and how you use your body, clean out the bugs, repopulate with good bugs, develop a new respect for your body, be gentle on yourself and patient, and everything will improve.
