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.

Another one / prolapse
Hi Sheppie
You know, I wonder if doctors are actually more scared of prolapse and fistula than we are, maybe because the only response they can muster is to fight it with surgical procedures that are far from satisfactory? And they know it!
Hmm, contemplating another pregnancy at the age of 42/43 is not perhaps what most ob/gynos would recommend, but has been done by millions of women over recorded history, particularly before vasectomies and reasonably reliable contraception came along. I can see why not, as long as your body will do the job satisfactorily, and you a prepared for some of the challenges and risks that an older woman takes in having a pregnancy later in life.
I think they see life through their professional and risk-ridden glasses, and are genuinely scared of being responsible for management of both prolapses and pregnancy in an older woman. No doubt your doctor will inform you of the risks (and may indeed refer you on to another OB)!
Women like Granolamom, who have pregnancy and birth with existing prolapse, and other women who have given birth in their forties may give you either the encouragement or discouragement you need to make this decision with your partner.
Cheers
Louise

hooray, Sheppie!
How wonderful to hear this! How is the fistula doing? I'm so hopeful it will correct on its own. I just love these healing stories and, like you, hope the newbies are tuned-in. Hugs!! Christine

Did fistula heal itself?
I have to get checked yet but doing my own feeling around and Internet searching I feel I may have a fistula on my bladder. A full hole is not there but the bladder itself I can feel a hollow hole just inside the thin skin on the outside. Did you ever heal your fistula? I have been reading only surgery can fix it or close it and I already told myself I will never have rectocele or cyctocele surgery and I would like to heal myself when it comes to a fistula as well.

Fistula
Hi Empty - best to get it checked out and let us know what the doctor says. Pretty hard to self-diagnose something like that. Good luck - Surviving
