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!

RE: tipped uterus
Welcome to Whole Woman, Jeve...
Thank you very much for your appreciation of this work. In traditional systems of medicine, particularly Ayurveda, doing rigorous exercise (especially inverted poses and those that sharply decrease intraabdominal pressure, such as the stomach lift) while menstruating are thought to cause menstrual contents to flow backwards, up and out the fallopian tubes, resulting in endometriosis.
There is no information that I can find demonstrating how the structural pathology of a tipped uterus occurs. All we know is that it is extremely common (almost ubiquitous) and was the indication for hundreds of variations of uterine suspension operations performed on women in the early years of the twentieth century.
We do have very solid theories of the development of the female pelvic system that show how intraabdominal pressures actually create both the shape of the female body and the placement of the pelvic organs. It stands to reason that if the placement of the organs has changed, the structural framework has changed, and the flow of intraabdominal pressures has changed. Which came first is a chicken and egg phenomenon, but it is my belief that the structural framework changes first (we lose our natural posture) and then the organs begin to be forced out of position by the forces of intraabdominal pressure.
It should be very easy to halt, and possibly reverse, the degenerative process that has resulted in your very mild condition. If you ignore it by not changing your posture, the genital hiatus will continue to widen and you may be looking at cystocele/rectocele down the road. This work is fun, creative, and empowering.
Wishing you well,
Christine
