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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Defectogram??
Hi Angels
Never heard of this test. Try googling it and see what you come up with. Otherwise, go back and ask the doctor. Defectogram may just be shorthand for some other complicated name. At any rate you have a right to know what they are going to do during the test and a responsibility to your body to investigate it beforehand so you know what will happen, or can ask for an alternative test if you are not happy with what you find out! BTW what is he trying to find out???
Cheers

Hi Angels,
Seeing the date of your post, maybe you have already had this done. I think you mean defocography? I had this procedure, and here is what you do. Clean yourself out the night before with sodium citrate. The technicians have you drink a barium cocktail (to fill the bladder), wait a half-hour, then the put some barium paste in your vagina, and rectum. Then you get up on a special potty where they can take x-ray pictures of you eliminating the barium. From this they can see what all the organs (rectum, bladder, and vagina) do when you try to go. They can see prolapses. It's pretty uncomfortable and embarrassing, but not painful, and it's over with quickly.
Hope that helped.
