Rectocele Question

COgal, Hi and welcome,
I have rectocele and it is manageable.
When I first had it, post - partum - long before I found Whole Woman, I used to get large round bowel movements that were challenging. I used to try splinting but it never worked. I used to also push up the bms as far as they would go, however over the years they now come back down again, and so I don't do that anymore and it comes by itself later, and have that happen rarely now.

I have found that along with WWoman toileting position and being consistent with fruit intake as a priority that BMs are much easier to pass. Root veg comes a close second if fruit is unavailable for any reason.
I have been using magnesium orotate, but take the minimum amount of 1 tablet a day.

Christine's approach covers all aspects of posture, breathing and lifestyle, diet and importantly, toileting. That is why I find her approach so holistic.

All the best,
Aussie Soul Sister

First time to the site- so thankful for the things I have read so far. I thought I was the only one with this issue. Does anyone experience the Rectrocele popping in and out? Uncomfortable sitting all day. Any suggestions for relief?

Dear COgal & Lynn2017,
I am glad that you have solved your constipation issue. When we work with our bodies the solution comes to us!
Lynne - welcome!
Rectocele is a very common issue, though not talked about in general very much - many women don't know what they have - I wasn't told what I had when it first showed up during my 2nd pregnancy.

The solution is in Christine's Whole Woman approach.

Once you live in the posture and belly/torso breath, you will be able to manage prolapse, and so much more.

There is also fire - breathing and jiggling that you can search on here and fire - breathing is also explained in the First Aid for Prolapse video.

I use that if my cervix is putting pressure on my prolapse from above, as her position affects my rectocele, and a warning that I have done something out of posture!

There are contra - indications for not using fire - breathing - Lynne - you don't say anything about your physical condition. Some of them are:
Don't do it during menstruation, and consult Christine if you have had a hysterectomy first.
One alternative option is downward dog pose, with a relaxed lower belly.

I encourage you to immerse yourselves in the WW approach, as
4+ years later I have come further with WW than I ever believed
or dared imagine!
Now I can dare and imagine what improvements are next along with surprises on the way!

All the best,

Thank you for your response.

I was recently diagnosed with RA. Wheelchair bound since July of this year. I have some questions if you if you don't mind about a Rectocele.
Did you experience soreness when it started? Will this improve? Uncomfortable to sit! I have been reading and trying to watch my posture while sitting!

Also when I go to pass wind or have a BM I have a popping feeling like it's popping out and it stings! I pray this improves!!

I can't find where to get the First Aid to Prolapse video??

Thank you so much for your time and support!!

Dear Lynn2017,
Sorry that you have RA.
I am a bit confused by your symptoms.

To me they don't sound like rectocele.

It is not part of our role here to diagnose pop so I've included a link below which describes prolapses which you can read.

The posture is fundamental to Christine's approach, and she also has many exercises which can be done while sitting. That is how I started.

A consult with Christine or a practitioner who lives near you sounds like the way to refine your approach to your individual situation.
I'm sure there is much that you can do with their help to improve your physical health and strength.

Wishing you all the best,
Aussie Soul Sister
