New here and question re: cervix hanging out

Body: 

Hi, I'm new here happy to have found this forum. I'm a little confused though. My symptom is that cervix hangs out alot of times. I've been reading about women mostly having a rectocele. Is it the same thing?

Hi Girliemom,

It actually is similar, in that the “back compartment” of the vagina can be filled with either a rectocele or prolapsed uterus. This work is all about pulling the organs forward so that symptoms are improved. It’s certainly important that your cervix is kept well inside the labia. Different women have different tolerances for both self-help and living well with prolapse.

My uterus has become a true ally after all these years and is a constant reminder of how I’m doing in general. Much of the time I can feel it, but some percentage of the time I can’t feel it at all and it is those times that I’m truly grateful for. And the greatest blessing is that I’m free to use my body any way I want without lifting restrictions, etc. For several years my uterus was profoundly prolapsed, like yours.

Wishing you well,

Christine
