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.

Remember, the forum is here for two reasons. First, to get your questions answered by other women who have knowledge and experience to share. Second, it is the place to share your results and successes. Your stories will help other women learn that Whole Woman is what they need.
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 Kellie
You have landed in a good spot at a good time, before you go to the gynaecologist. Yes, we all live with pelvic organ prolapse, some young like you, others older. We range in age from about early 20's to 70's. It is hard to know what your gynaecologist will recommend. Some say you must have an operation to repair the damage. Others say that repairs can cause more problems, so wait for as long as you can. Others say go to the physiotherapist for pelvic floor therapy.
This site supports women who would rather not have surgical repairs. We prefer to manage our symptoms ourselves by using posture adjustments, a good diet, clothing that doesn't compress the lower belly, and learn new ways of using the body in order to prevent further damage.
Have a thorough read of the main website, then you will be able to join in these discussions and ask questions. You will be a full bottle on it in no time.
Yes, you can reverse your symptoms and learn to carry your uterus, bladder and rectum higher in the pelvic cavity, though the potential for them to come down will always be there. You can get your life back and get rid of the fear that you no doubt are experiencing. It is not the end of the world, nor will it kill you. Eventually you will learn to trust your body again. It will be OK.
We don't regard *anything* as TMI on this site, so feel free to ask any questions you like.
Cheers
Louise

Kelly, it gets better!
Hi Kelly! You CAN deal with this and have a full & happy life. The beginning is so hard because it is shocking and you don't know what to expect. I found my prolapse about 3 months ago now and in the last month I have begun to feel more like my "old" self. It takes time to deal with this--both emotionally and physically. My advice is to limit the amount of time you spend reading about prolapse. That drove me crazy in the beginning. This is a good site to come to--you will find positivity and reassurance from the women here. Again, it WILL get better for you emotionally, no doubt anout it!
