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.

Remember, the forum is here for two reasons. First, to get your questions answered by other women who have knowledge and experience to share. Second, it is the place to share your results and successes. Your stories will help other women learn that Whole Woman is what they need.
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!

Scared and confused
Hi C
Welcome to the site. I can hear that you really are scared and confused. It is always scary when your body starts doing something unexpected and you don't know what is happening, especially with a big trip coming up. You don't know where to start.
First take a deep breath and let it out again.
You have recently done some lifting, (Seen the PC(?). What do you mean by PC?), visited the physiotherapist, and are now experiencing some pain. I would think that pain after a physio treatment would send me back to ask them about it, or go to a doctor to see what s/he thinks.
Some women experience pain with prolapses - others do not. You can also visit www.wholewoman.com and check out the FAQ's. If you think you have prolapses there are a lot of things you can do before you go to the doctor. Correct your posture, correct your diet to ensure that you are getting sufficient fibre and water, ensure that your clothing is not compressing your abdomen and sending all your organs south. These things alone may give you some immediate improvement with prolapses.
Also use the Search box to look for posts about Pain and also about Pessaries. Pessaries are a world unto themselves and there are many women who visit regularly who have a lot of experience with all sorts of pessaries. There are all sorts of shapes and sizes available, depending on where you are on the planet, and whether or not your doctor thinks they are worthwhile. You might have to try several different sizes.
That should give you a few places to start. It can be a long journey but the end point can be very good.
Cheers
Louise
