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.

nourishment and encouragement
Hello theteach,
Thank you so much for articulating the core of the living-with-prolapse issue. Over the years we’ll be describing the post-hysterectomy woman’s condition in more polished detail.
I talk to these women all the time and the stories are truly heart-breaking. While it is true that some women do okay for awhile - sometimes several years - the percentage of those who do not is great enough that no woman should take the risk.
The body is forever trying to self-correct and you are right - nourishment and encouragement are its basic needs. The psyche is no different.
:) Christine

Given that i had surgery
Given that i had surgery after deciding not to (because of getting a concern (rash)in my outside parts where all any one would say is to get the sag out of the way i gave in,)sag went away for 2 years, now I have the sag back - this with the cervix and bladder ...but now i have discharge of unknown origin, mesh I feel in my tailbone and vagina, a new obgyn who can't understand why a sacralcolpopexy was performed ( i asked him why they teach this to doctors ) If my experience can mean less trouble to someone else- I will be thankful for that at least.
I believe that many many women had prolapse who took it to their graves... a lot of women would never look with a mirror or touch i supspect and before Pap tests, i bet few doctors looked there at a woman. These ladies probably just sat when it was tooo uncomfortable. Perhaps too much education is a dangerous thing.
I do find this site encouraging and just love the new format.
