New Here

Body: 

Hi everyone. I am new here. So glad I found this site. I was given the option of surgery to fix my rectocele, and I refused. I knew there had to be another way.

I'm 32 years old, have two children (born naturally) and married to a very supportive husband of 10 years. So I am very fortunate indeed.

This rectocele decided to first show itself back in October, 2012. I was petrified when I found it. I was shocked and confused and had no idea what it could be! Frantically, I went online to do some research, and found this website. I am so thankful for the information here.

I don't know what stage my prolapse is, but I do know it's uncomfortable when it flares up. It's not always there, but rears it's ugly head when I am backed up a bit and haven't been drinking enough fluids. Being a coffee lover, I have had to limit my intake to a few cups a day, and have increased my water and herbal tea intake instead. I have also made sure to eat more fruit and fiber to keep me regular.

I have ordered the DVD package from this website, and hope the Yoga will help. I am overweight and need to get these extra pounds off which I'm sure will help my posture as well.

Any support or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Skyela

Hi skyela,
Welcome to the Whole Woman community. I'm so glad you found this site too. I remember that feeling of relief wel, when I found this site and realised there was a safe, natural and effective treatment for prolapse. I hope you'll find a treasure trove of information, advice and support on the various aspects of this site. There are some really helpful you tube videos as well.

I'm so pleased you've bought one of the WW resource packages from the WW store. That can be a great support and investment in your health for life. The book is an invaluable resource for all things prolapse. I generally follow/do a WW practice most days. It takes about 20' and makes a significant contribution to generally being symptom free. This along with the corner-stones of WW treatment: healthy diet, effective evacuation and nonconstipation and the WW posture as much as possible - promotes healthy pelvic organ support and optimises prolapse recovery and maintenance.

The absolute core of this work is the practical being in WW posture as much as possible. This requires whole body interconnections and work. It's a happy, healthy, holistic approach for Whole Women. A whole new life journey is just about to begin!

Good luck and bon voyage!

Hi skyela - it sounds like you have a garden-variety rectocele and this will respond well to the Whole Woman work. Keep your bowels moving, don't strain on the toilet, and adopt Whole Woman posture for life! I have been doing this for 2-1/2 years. My symptoms come and go but the important thing is that I have the tools in the toolbag to keep things manageable, and most importantly, to eliminate my fear of things getting worse. I live without any limitations on what I can do, and without the stress of constant worry. WW posture is responsible for so many improvements in my life. Hoping for the best for you. You will get out what you put in! - Surviving
