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.

I think if it is the back
I think if it is the back wall then it is a rectocele. A cystocele would be the front wall. Unfortunately rectoceles seem to be the most stubborn. I've heard that diet is a big factor in improving the symptoms of a rectocele. If your cervix is becoming more pronounced then it could be your uterus prolapsing also. If you read the posts on this forum you will find more information on changing your posture and diet etc. There are a lot of supportive women here.

rectocele
That sounds very similar to what I experience. I have a rectocele and some uterine prolapse. My rectocele is lower on the back wall of my vagina, though. The worse my rectocele feels, the lower my cervix seems to drop. I think this is because its all connected and if one thing is dragging down, another is bound to come down a bit too...

does it feel hard?
i think you should see a doctor about it.
i have had a rectocele (kinda sorta patched up after i tore in my latest delivery 4 weeks ago), but it was a bulge and mostly was a soft bulge. it really feels more like a hernia, or a weakness/ slackness which falls into a bulge when i stand, and then i feel fulness/ heaviness. it does not feel like a hard round growth
i still feel it (though its not bad at the moment), but i cant say it ever bothered my hubby or that he is ever particularly aware of it except when i complained of discomfort.
how do others' rectoceles feel?
