Jolie has ovaries and fallopian tubes removed

It sounds like she still has her uterus, since she hasn't said anything to the contrary. I suspect that if she does develop a prolapse, she will most likely be off to the surgeon again, and maybe won't announce it to the press this time.....

But I can't really comment on what she did and why. It's a complicated thing. I wish her the best. - Surviving

Hi, I'm new here and also had my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed because a tumor. I still have my uterus but I have a cystocele stage four, I'm 71 years old and I'm already doing the whole woman program mostly posture and the fire breathing. I wonder if this is going to be helpful for me in my condition, thank you for your insight.

Hi Dysa and welcome to WW. Yes, a cystocele is normally quite responsive to the Whole Woman work, regardless of "grade" (which is really just a snapshot in time, because once you start this work, you will see that the organs are constantly moving around). You have had surgery, though, which of course changes the dynamics of the pelvis. I can't say what impact it will have. But many of us here do have other factors adding to the challenge, so, just immerse yourself in the posture work and see how much better you feel! Good luck - Surviving

Thank you Surviving60, I'm ready. I have been without a pessary for about 2 months due to constant infections and bleeding. I'm praying that I will improve naturally with WW. I guess when you don't have the ovaries your vagina is super dry, honey give me a little irritation so I'm using coconut oil and Luvena when I'm extremely dry and I bleed. The bleeding is definite from dryness and the everyday movements of the body. I have the gyn checked and everything looks ok. Grateful for your support.

Christine talks about her use of honey in this thread:

My mom is in her 70s now, and after using estrogen cream for 10 years for vaginal dryness, she started using the honey instead. She has been having great results with it.

Unbrella,

Dysa - I just wanted to clarify that the bladder is not dry. A cystocele is the bladder bulging through the vaginal wall, and it is the vaginal tissue that can become dry post-menopause. I know you didn't mean it the way it came out, but sometimes women who are newly prolapsed come to this forum very confused about what exactly is going on down there, and we don't want to add to their confusion. - Surviving

Christine's latest post is at the end of this thread:

I just didn't want it to go unnoticed. Everyone can really benefit from reading it.

Agree - Based on her research and personal experience, I think we all should be considering the honey applications. I personally don't use it now, because somehow I dodged the bullet of post-meno dryness. But her message is clear and I think it's time, now I just have to locate the good stuff. - Surviving

Hi Surviving60,
Thank you for the correction of vaginal dryness, and for that message that is so clear. I have a question for you: I used honey (raw commercial organic honey), about 4 times and it irritated my vaginal area and
I felt pain during the night. I'm afraid to use it again. Do you have any suggestion for me, thank you. -Dysa

Hi Aging gracefully,
Great article, thank you! Checking my Luvena box I didn't find the Polyproplylene glycol as the third ingredient unless it is hidden in the PEG-150? When I bleed from my prolapse my doctor recommends Luvena and the pessary when is bulge out which is usually the size of an orange, no exaggeration here. I just will like to be inform about the risk of this third ingredient in Luvena, thanks. Dysa

Hi Dysa,
I couldn't really tell you what is in Luvena, I have never researched it or used the product. Maybe someone else has and will come on and talk about it.
You said you were having pain using the honey? Not sure what that's all about. I don't know if it is the type of honey you were using, commercial grade doesn't sound right to me. Local honey may have a different affect, if you can find some in your area.
Christine is really our honey expert around here, she may know why you would be having those particular symptoms from using it. My mom has been using it with no adverse affects and says it's really doing the trick for her. I used it early on in my prolapse when I was having some burning issues. It did have a slight stinging feeling at first that went away. Christine said that was to be expected. It really helped me too, so not quite sure what is going on with your situation.
Wish I had more information for you.

Hi Aging gracefully & Surviving60
I think that ladies like you supporting WW should have an identification so other people like me don't get information that is not what Christine had taught us. I was very disappointed with some information I got a few days ago about support for my prolapse which it is contrary to what WW teaches us. If WW assistants have some kind of identification we will know that the info we are receiving is trustworthy and will help us to achieve our goal. Thank you for the wonderful work you do for us. Dysa

Dysa, we will always jump in there to identify when members are posting "advice" that isn't helpful. This is an open forum, but it also has a mission to keep the discussion focused on the WW work.

Don't worry, we won't let you or anyone else get steered off this course......the first steps of this journey are just too important! - Surviving
