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.

Why?
Hi Cmmd
Prolapse is not really a medical condition. It is a *symptom* of a range of things going wrong.
1 faulty posture
2 damage or stretching of endopelvic fascia, and/or damage to pelvic floor musculature from pregnancy or badly managed labour and birth or birth trauma or obstetric damage done by an obstetrician in extracting a baby.
4 a result of chronic constipation
5 Other pelvic trauma
6 Genetically weak connective tissue
7 prior pelvic surgery
8 postmenopause changes to connective tissue
9 a demanding physical job with poor OH&S standards, usually low wage earners who have little bargaining power
10 a need to prove oneself as 'strong as an any man'
11 lack of mechanical aids for heavy lifting
12 inappropriate packaging of heavy objects, etc
It is hard when your Mum appears to have drawn the short straw. Despite being ostensibly the same as another person, there is a lot that can happen to a woman's body between cradle and prolapse.
Here is a page about endometrial stripe. http://www.ehow.com/about_5094762_definition-endometrial-stripe.html.
- me women have lifted properly all their lives, or had someone to do their heavy lifting.
- Some women have asymptomatic prolapse all their lives, that only manifests when a straw breaks the camel's back, or never manifests.
- Some women drink only very small quantities so that their bladder stays small. They may get kidney damage.
- Some women will not admit that they have prolapse; everything below the waist is ignored.
- Some older people grew up during the Great Depression or World War II, and never express their discomfort or pain, having a very high pain threshold and expectations about what they simply accept as normal. Pain is very subjective.
- Some women have had hysterectomy and are sewn up so tightly that nothing can escape
- Some are very lucky.
Does that start to explain why POP is just another way that bodies sometimes go wrong and sometimes do not?

Keep in mind cmmd, that these
Keep in mind cmmd, that these organs are all connected, and it is rare for there to be only one prolapsed organ all by itself. Furthermore, even one single doctor is going to see different things on different days, making a "diagnosis" questionable at best. Now, you have introduced another doctor into the mix. And all these doctors are surgeons. They are going to recommend surgery, of course! Please be careful. Even at 80, your mom should not be treated as someone who has no options left except damaging surgery. Take it slow. - Surviving
