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.

Fibroids or haemorroids?
Hi Suzanne
The trouble with being 53 is that you get lots of surprises at this age, and not all of them are welcomed with joy. Is it possible that menopause may also be a factor? I am not suggesting that you ignore these things, but they may be a passing phenomenon.
I would be looking at getting right into the Wholewoman posture, having a major look at your diet to keep your bowel light and free of compacted faeces, ensure that your clothes are not putting pressure on your abdomen, particularly when you are sitting, and get into some exercises that will tone up your whole pelvic area.
Going on holidays can be good because it is a discrete period of time that you can use to work on these things as a part of self-nurture and re-creation for yourself. Also remember to take various sizes of cushions with you so you can sit upright and maintain your lumbar curve wherever you might be, whether in a plane, car, sofa or on the ground. You might find that a few weeks of these new ways of doing things will make a difference. You have nothing to lose.
By the way, I share your suspicion of any doctor who is "trying to give me" anything. I will be the one wearing the results of his "generosity", whether or not I like the result.
Just remember that you cannot go back after you have had surgery, but you can try living with prolapses then go back and opt for surgery. Christine's book is jam-packed with descriptions of all the different surgeries and the evidence of risks and possible complications too, all referenced from prestigious mainstream medical journals. The book is a great way to familiarise yourself with them all for when the doctor starts speaking in words of five syllables. Then you will be able to make up your own mind what you want for your body.
Best wishes and hope you have a great re-creational holiday.

I had a wonderful vacation, thank you.
I bought flaxseed oil vitamins before vacation. I started taking them on vacation and taking them regularly even now. They have made all the difference. I am also paying more attention to my diet.
When I'm bewildered on what to do surgery-wise,I just come here and read about all the others having prolapse and dealing with it. I do have Christine's book and do most of the posture. It sure does help.
Last night, I finally found the nerve to ask a friend why she had a hysterectomy. She was 'hanging out' also and her periods were sooo heavy. So....when her doc asked if she wanted a H to relieve her of the periods, she said yes. But, that would not have been her response today. She has insominia, has to take Tylenol PM for it and is very moody due to the synthetic hormones.
Thanks for this board. It gets me through the dark hours.

Hi Suzanne
Sounds like you are feeling much better in yourself. Keep persevering with the posture. I have now been doing this work for nine months, and I am still learning little ways of doing it better.
It takes a long time to make all the changes to the world you live in, ie seating, clothing, diet etc. I still find myself slouching, but I am now quick to correct it, as it is so simple, and I know how much it helps. Just the thought of being incontinent in a nursing home in thirty years time is enough to make me keep thinking, Posture, posture, posture, all the time.
Cheers
Louise
