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!

Scars
I would assume any part of the body can make scar tissue as I know my body made its own thru the mesh covering my hernia...Quickly too!

Oh brother
I had the laparoscopic cholecystectomy myself and there are NO visible scars. I think the gallbladder docs just want a chance to get inside some you-know-what. ;-)

The hidden vagina
Hi All
I think "hidden" is the operative word here. You cannot see the scars. And being a visible reminders is what scars are all about. Lack of scars equals youth and perfection (my old friends, NOT).
Be darned if I would let a surgeon wanting to remove my left thingameebob anywhere near my vagina! Maybe the woman decided to have it done through her vagina instead of her mouth because doing it through her mouth might have interfered with talking and eating. Well, some people have different priorities! I'll go the skin route thankyou!
But seriously, Christine is absolutely right. The vagina has so many symbolic associations, from the sacred to the profane, with half the world's population lacking one, and many who have one not using it. It certainly is a mysterious organ. It is easy to see how it is easy prey for doctors wanting an unused body part to utilise for some other purpose.
I think Hunter's editorial comments accompanying the Marescaux report in the Archives of Surgery are very profound.
"The benefits of NOTES (natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery) are not earthshaking and the risks are real," he writes. "Marescaux and colleagues. You have (again) put man on the moon. Now we need to figure out if there is any reason to populate this new plane."
End of story.

Gosh, I simply can't even
Gosh, I simply can't even imagine how they thought up this one? Perhaps over a round of golf..............Hmmmm, what ever can we try next?
Do they not have better things to research and figure out such as effective and harmless treatment of POP? The usual methods of laparoscopically removing things seems to work quite well but I think you are right Loiuse, this has more to do with what can't be seen than with the actual long term effects. Yet more scarey stuff!

How did they think it up?
HARRY:Hey Fred, what are you going to do with those shipping containers of polycarbonate balls? They're all different sizes. They won't all fit in the same sized holes. You could have stolen a shipping container full of something useful, like laptops or something.
FRED: Oh I dunno Harry. Can't think about it now. I have 3km of fine, braided polypropylene string to offload before I start worrying about my balls (canned laughter).
HARRY & FRED (together - light bulb comes on above their heads) Hey, I've got a good idea!!
Cheers

It is so funny sometimes how
It is so funny sometimes how these threads get mixed up but always seem to relate to the same thing in the end...............the vagina!!! Pessaries, laparoscopic surgery, never could have imagined quite how interconnected they REALLY were before this! :)
Ha Ha again and from the belly as well :):)
