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.

hello
It sounds like your pessary ring is not the correct size for you - There are many sizes and types and I would get your Gynae to try a different one.
My mother is 63 and she has a passary ring and never has to even touch it
Posture can help your bladder to go back in a bit - I know this cos mine was 'peeking' and now it isnt
Good luck :)

Thanks for this. I did have
Thanks for this. I did have it resized once but will see if perhaps a larger one won't keep slipping around. I'm trying to do the posture but I keep forgetting. Guess it takes time to really 'get it.' Can't wait to get the video.

Welcome, Joanna
You're in good company here with lots of women in your age group benefitting from this work. I think all women with prolapse should go through the pessary drill just to see if they can find one that helps. With that said, many of us feel a pessary would only hamper the satisfactory level of comfort achieved with the postural and breath work. The key to sitting is to do so with the strength of your own spine. There are many chairs available that allow this. And YES!, you should notice the bladder pulling up with this work.

Thanks Christine,
Thanks Christine,
I understand what you're saying about the pessary possibly interfering with the postural and breath work. I'm going to take it out at night and use it only when I'm uncomfortable. Already I'm finding some relief through the posture and the breathing. Not sure whether the posture is correct without the video yet, but I think it's somewhat correct. Went for a walk today and noticed a tightness in the butt and the hamstrings.
It's wonderful to think that there may be some improvement without surgery.
