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.

Pain
I have not had pain from my prolapse, but from years on this forum, I know that some do. I think it is more common when the primary prolapse is the uterus. I have cystocele and rectocele which tends to keep the uterus more or less away from the opening. Does this happen in your case? Also if you have other back issues, your pain may be mostly the result of that. So just keep doing gentle posture work and getting those organs aligned. Very mindful posture walking is good for body and soul. - Surviving

IC pain
I'm sorry to hear you are suffering, I was incorrectly diagnosed with IC for years, it wasn't until I started the WW program that my pain ended,
I was in agony, until to pass urine, the pain radiated down my thighs, and yes, I followed a restricted diet, eliminating all acid foods, all for nothing.
I spent hours and days in the recliner chair with ice packs and warm rice bags on my pelvic and vaginal area.
Never once in six years did I test positive for bladder infection, which I displayed all the symptoms of,
So the doctors summarized it had to be IC and I had a cystoscope, then I had bladder instills, all to no avail.
I found Whole Woman when desperately googling pelvic pain for answers.
I started the posture, I started the exercises, going easy easy slowly slowly and gentle, I figured out by myself what was wrong. I believe my bladder was in such a distorted position from doing what the doctor had suggested all those years , the IC diet , 100's of kegels, the kegels made it soooooo much worse ,, honestly ,, never do kegels.
I had been holding my tummy in all those years, shoulders back, all the wrong things for a natural body that i was just a mess.I had three babies, and a hysterectomy very young, it was after the age of 40 I started this problem, mostly after carrying an armful of fire wood, or wheel barrowing earth, heavy work. Thats what I would tell the doctor every time, its after exercise or work, heavy work that it flares.He would not listen.
I was on my own, so I helped myself. With Christine's help.
Once I managed to get my body back in proper WW posture everything fell into place. I know now I never ever had IC, it has never returned, the horrible pain, it sneaks up a little but I know that I need to do some jiggling or pelvic rocks to return my organs to proper place,
I would never dream of telling you what to do but I would whole kindheartedly suggest you give the Whole Woman posture and First Aide for prolapse a try,
take care,
my wish for you is to be pain free,
I know how devastating this can be.

I have also had the diagnosis
I have also had the diagnosis of IC and prolapse. For months i have had this burning pain in my bladder and urgency as well as back pain and leakage. I have yet to get a clear answer from my doctors if this pain is caused from the IC or the cystocele that I have. Its very frustrating.
