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!

Welcome Jazzylady
Hi Jazzylady. I don't fit your combination, but I want to acknowledge that you have been through a lot, and I hope we may be able to help you in some way. I notice that you have been a Member for 6 months or so, so you have probably read quite a bit on the Forums during this time. We have started a Forum specifically for women who have had hysterectomy because the issues are often quite different in the absence of a uterus. I am not sure if any of the hysterectomised women who have contributed are still reading, but give it a go.
So glad you have read Christine's book. You should have a pretty good grasp of the anatomical aspects.
I am taking the liberty of moving your topic to the Hysterectomy Forum, where you will find the other topics that have been started by women who have had hysterectomy. You might also find them scattered through the other Forums. Use the Search box to search 'hysterectomy', to find them.
Cheers
Louise

Urethrocele
Hello JazzyLady
I see you've been stuck away here in the hyst forum and no-one is talking to you.
I too have a urethrocele, or at least this is what I think it is. Lots of saggy rugae anterior to my introitus, and lately extra tissue posterior too. I think Judith has mentioned she has a similar tissue problem so perhaps she'll chime in here soon.
I use Estrace vaginal cream, rubbed lightly into the tissue 3x per week and find that it tightens up the sagginess and takes away most of the irritating feeling of awareness.
Sounds like menopause has struck too! Are you on any form of HRT? I think the girls who have briefly frequented this forum are on HRT. Don't know where they have got to, but I suspect the anti-surgery slant on WW has chased them away, hope not.
I want to buy some of the Bliss Balm that is recommended, as vaginal dryness is such a problem to me at the moment. I sincerely hope things get better as I get older!
Good luck.
Bye for now, Sue.

hi jazzylady
I'm not in your situation, but thought I'd say hi anyway
since you already have the book, you know that the WW technique was initially developed with the woman who hasn't yet had any pelvic surgery in mind.
that said, there's no reason to think you can't benefit too
I think the big thing here is for you to figure out exactly what you're dealing with in terms of anatomy, and how you can make the WW principles work for you.
I don't post much on the hyster forum due to time constraints and the fact that I don't often feel I have much to contribute, but once you start playing around with the posture ask any and all questions you might have. and do keep us posted on how you do, the hyster forum is relatively new and the women who post here are really charting new territory.
I'm sorry I don't have more specific tips right now, but maybe will if you have more specific ???'s
