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.

RE: pessary removal
Numbers4u,
The "trick" to removing the pessary will depend on the type. It should fit snugly and many types are very difficult to remove - often requiring a doctor's or nurse's help. I use a donut pessary which fits snugly, but I am able to remove it fairly easily on my own. If that is the type you have, try removing it while seated on the toilet: leaning forward, reach up with index or middle finger, putting your finger through the central hole and looping it around the pessary - now bearing down GENTLY, pull downward, and with luck it should slide right out. There will probably be some pressure/discomfort for a second or two as it comes out. Oh - try to relax while doing this -if your are tense, it will make it much more difficult.
Good luck!
J.

pessary removal
Thank-you for the advice! I don't think mine was the doughnut
(I assume it is called that because it looks like one?) Mine
also had a whole in the middle, but it was almost an oval shape,
it looked like it would be the most comfortable, but it did
fit very snug. Is the doughnut shape an easier one to use?
