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.

I guess the question is why?
why the incontinence, that is.
I can only assume that *if* the problem is an underdeveloped sphincter, if there is such a thing, than maybe a bulking agent would prove useful. in my (uneducated) mind, you'd want to be sure not to overbulk it or you'd end up unable to void.
my ds is having bladder incontinence troubles and we're going down the diagnosis road. I know a 7 yo boy is way different than a woman with a prolapse, but I think that the principle of proper diagnosis before shot-in-the-dark treatment is a good idea either way.
with my ds, everything's been ruled out thus far, aside from a 'tight internal sphincter' which they can't assess without very invasive techniqe. the recommendation now is an alpha-blocker to relax the sphincter. thought is, that after working so hard to get the urine past a tight sphincter, the bladder has lost its tone and is no longer responding normally to the neural feedback systems. I wonder if a similar thing happens with a prolapse. the bladder tips and has to work harder to void and then 'forgets' how to function properly.
just a thought, probably useless, but interesting to me nonetheless.
