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.

hormones and prolapse
Hello Anne and welcome,
We have a pretty good idea at this point that hormones - our own or exogenous - have very little effect on prolapse. Rather, it is our nutrition that has the biggest effect as well as all the things we do with our body that causes the vaginal vault to balloon backward.
There is lots of information here on the website as well as in the book Saving the Whole Woman 2nd ed. The key is reversing the process, which we do with good food, the postural work, and discontinuing all straining on the toilet. As you have experienced, prolapse is progressive even if we are exercising. However, when we change the way in which we hold our body while moving, we also change our symptoms.
From the information you gave, it sounds like yours is "garden variety" prolapse that will probably respond very well to this work.
Good luck and please write back if you have further questions.
Christine
