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.

some answers
re: grading of cystocele...I've not received a number for mine, my mw is pretty laid back about such things and that's fine by me. I care more about how my symptoms feel than what number it looks like. and since it moves and changes from day to day, and even over the course of a day, the grading system, imo, is not terribly accurate.
so, your gp is useless, that's ok, since you don't need him to fix your cystocele. once you have the knowlege, the power lies within you : )
re: discharge
when I first found my 'cele I, too, had lots and lots of clear discharge. didn't know what that was all about. still not 100% sure its related to the prolapse but now that you mention it, maybe it is?
in any case, it lasted a while, I'm sorry to say. probably about a year. cloth pantiliners became my best friends :)
posture for picking up toys...I just crawl around on all fours at the end of the day tossing toys to their corners and then putting them away. the kids do get a kick out of it and tend to join in and help
but for bending down to pick up something, I don't squat. I bend at the hips and knees, but not in a squat, hard to describe. I guess the same way you'd bend at the waist, but I keep my spine stretched out. I don't know how to better describe that one.

A couple of answers I hope...
If it is to the entrance I think thats about a Grade 2 (They keep changing the grading but in the old grading it's a 2 I think - not that numbers matter)
Being wet could be just that it is low and mor elubrication is sent so it doesn't dry out (I am sure someone else will arrive and clarify this for you)
The posture - It is Hmm how to desribe it...
''A proud holding of the upper body that isn't slouching and by that I do not mean rigid abs lol - Just if you lift your upper body your lower comes in also ) And re-putting back the curve in your back
Think of how a child looks standing up... A young girl is as things should be...
i will search out the pic of my daughter a year or so ago and add it... This shows how her spine tilts - Should help you...

lubrication
I think Sue's comment about the body sending additional lubrication to the prolapsed uterus is very insightful. The wisdom of the body never ceases to amaze me. Thank you, Sue!
