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: Exercise
There are lots of posts on here about yoga & pilates: postures that are healthful & those that should be avoided. Search in the archives for Christines wisdom. I think pilates has a LOT OF MOVES THAT COMPROMISE THE PELVIC ORGANS so should be done with caution. Also, search the archives about pessary use that your dr may not have told you. Like taking it out at night. Some women believe pessary use led to rectocele development & have chosen seasponges instead -- see homepage resources about sponge,
blessings to you on your journey to health..

RE: Exercise
I am sure it was my wearing a pessary for six months that led to my rectocele. Taking it out and putting it in with already compromised tissues did the damage. Wish I had known that sooner. Oh well - hindsight is always 20/20. Incorporating body posture here will allow you to go without a pessary. If standing properly, try to gently push on your 'celes. Can't feel them heading south, right? You are doing everything the way you should and there shouldn't be any problems.
I have had universal prolapses for five years and today I am much better than five years ago. Even one year ago. It is definitely worth it to adopt "the posture."

RE: Exercise pessary
For me it is painful pulling the pessary out. But when I am scheduled
to do heavy lifting I wear it. Otherwise things seem much worse. One of the ladies on here, mentioned it is like people who have to wear a knee brace or a back brace, need the extra support. That is definetly what the pessary is to me. I try not to wear it very often though. For regular day stuff the posture is definitely better than the pessary. I agree I think it also causes harm. Diana
