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.

soft bulge
Hi Suzita
Lucky you, to have found us at this early stage. It certainly sounds like a prolapsed 'something or other', and it is important that you get to the bottom of it and have anything medically serious treated, before treating it as simply prolapsed pelvic organs.
Once you know from the tests what it is, you can deal with it. If it is a prolapse it really doesn't matter what has prolapsed. The management from a Wholewoman point of view is the same, and probably in this order.
1 Stop worrying. Prolapses are not life-threatening, but they are not curable (not even with surgery, which often causes further prolapse (and need for further surgery), scarring and other damage which cannot be undone). They are manageable, and once you learn to manage them life can go on pretty much normally. Stopping worrying will will also help you to relax into your new posture see below)and avoid constipation.
2 Learn to stand, sit and ambulate in Wholewoman posture. This will move the weight of all your pelvic organs (rectum, uterus and bladder) from the soft pelvic floor to the solid pubic bone. This will stop your pelvic floor from sagging, both from the weight of these organs and by repositioning the anchorage points of these pelvic floor muscles so that the pelvic floor is taut and bouncey, not loose and floppy.
3 Adjust your thinking about your belly so you can leave it loose, and adjust your style of clothing so your lower belly is not compressed in either standing or sitting or squatting positions.
4 Adjust your diet so there is plenty of fibre and water in it, and you limit the binding foods you eat, in order to keep your bowel light and avoid constipation. This is important, both to allow the pelvic organs to stay where they are meant to be, and to prevent further damage from straining.
5 Learn how to completely empty your sagging bladder. It is important to avoid leaving stale urine in the bladder so you don't get urinary tract infections.
You will need to visit www.wholewoman.com and check out the FAQ's to see how all this happens. Just take my word for it for now. When you can do so, buy a copy of Saving the Wholewoman by Christine Kent, which is available from the online shop. This will give you a deeper understanding of the principles behind Wholewoman thinking.
Call back to the Forum any time.
Cheers
Louise

Thanks
Thanks for your response to my question. I neglected to mention I have already been to the gyno who said he doesn't detect anything abnormal.
I was disgusted when I came home but now realize from reading that sometimes prolapse isn't immediately apparent. I will of course feel better when the urologist is able to give his report from the cysto. as I suppose there could be a urinary tract problem that I am not aware of. If this is indeed prolapse I will purchase Christine's book. I am thankful to have found this community of understanding women not to mention knowledgeable as well!

urethra
Hi
Hi
mine was a urethra prolapse at first. It's now a bladder prolapse but don't let that freak you out :) I found things out quite late... my gyne got the wrong organ wrong everything said it was my uterus. I only found out what was going on when beginning acupcunture school and taking anatomy etc.. and subsequently going to a urogynecologist.
Thing's are completly painless and completely managable for me, no infections, no problems with sex or normal everday life.
Mostly i don't think about it but from time to time i get concerned about the future - the good thing is it keeps me on the straight and narrow with everything else and my all round health has hugesly improved. By eating right/excercising right/ etc.. for the 'cele that's the very benificial side effect.
Best wishes
