posture???

Body: 

I am new to this site and very happy to be able to discuss the topics of prolapse ect with other women! I am having difficulty finding information on this topic. I have a cystocele and rectocele at a stage 3. I am 51 years old and have been considering surgery but do not REALLY want to. I have started using a pessary about 4 months ago. I am still trying to get the correct size pessary for my body and prolapse. I am curious about a natural beeswax pessary but know of no resources.Does anyone out there know of a beeswax pessary resource or how to fashion one? I VERY interested in the proper posture and a video???? I am a massage therapist and devoted to a healthy lifestyle. Any information is extremely welcome. Thanks ladies!!!! Chong

Hi Chong,

I’m glad you found us, too! Surgery is a terrible response to prolapse. You can find a couple of descriptions of the posture in the FAQ link on the homepage (www.wholewoman.com) The book is out of print, but we are anxiously awaiting the second edition, which goes to the cover designer tomorrow. You can find the DVD at www.wholewomancenter.com/store.

Wishing you well,

Christine

p.s. One person posted here about a year ago that she was working with her midwife to fashion a beeswax pessary, but then she disappeared.

Hi ladies

I put 'beeswax' into the Search box and found that the first experimenter (February 2006 post) was still accepting emails, at least I could bring up an email form addressed to her, and didn't get the "Not accepting emails" message.

It might be worthwhile trying to email her and see how she went with her fitting and subsequently.

Cheers

Louise
