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.

hello discouraged
hello & welcome to the site
first, take a deep breath.
what you are reporting from your gyn is ridiculous in my opinion. first of all, why on earth remove a uterus when its the bladder that's prolapsed? and the literature clearly shows that hysterectomies oftentimes lead to pelvic organ prolapse (including vaginal vault itself)? you don't say how old you are, but really, I hate the scare tactics (if you don't do it now then it will be worse later, or not possible later, etc).
but, good for you that you are motivated to take this into your own (and very capable) hands. get the book, definitely. make sure to buy the second edition, it has more diagrams and exercises in it, and was revised a bit too. worth its weight in gold.
in the interim, read up on the faq's here to start getting used to the posture. avoid all straining on the toilet. avoid constipation like the plague. try not to wear clothing that is tight around the waist.
and most of all, stay positive. so many of us have avoided surgery and are living quite well with prolapse. mine is no longer symptomatic, and I've even gone on to have another baby with it! so there is reason to remain hopeful. pretty soon, I bet, you'll regret choosing 'discouraged' as your user name. but as long as you don't wind up regretting cutting out your uterus, youre in good shape.
stick around, keep coming back with questions. this is a wonderful group.

Hello granolamom,
I'm 63, going to babysit my little granola eating grandson tomorrow. Thanks for the advice, I feel so much better knowing that there are things I can do, why not try? (no longer quite so) discouraged
