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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

hi dawnsmom
welcome to the site
I first developed a cystocele and then a small rectocele. I did notice improvements after implementing the posture and some exercises as well as making some dietary changes. for me, it took a while before I saw significant change. I honestly can't say how long because looking back it seems like it happened quickly, but I remember not feeling that way at the time (6 mo?? a year??) I'm extremely grateful that I found this site before having surgery because I am virtually symptom-free save for a few days/month and my organs are all where they should be. and that is key to stabilizing any prolapse as well as preventing further prolapse.
aside from the asthetics, are you having any symptoms?

Hi granolamom
Thanks for responding. The only symptom I seem to have is that the rectocele hangs out a bit....especially when I go the bathroom. I discovered it because I had a yeast infection and while applying the ointment, I noticed this large ball like thing hanging out.....it really scared me and I went to the doctor and was told it was quite common and millions of woman have it. What other symptoms are there?

symptoms
I think to some degree, the symptoms of rectocele vary from woman to woman, but the most common ones are the physical bulge, the pressure and discomfort from the bulge, constipation and some women have reported low back or pelvic discomfort/pain.
count yourself among the lucky ones....if the only symptom you have is that you can see it, you are in a good place. If you implement the posture advocated here, and take care to avoid constipation and straining on the toilet, you can most probably keep it from getting any worse.
