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 pat31
It sounds like you are relieved to have a diagnosis and explanation for what you have been experiencing, but WOW doctors are so quick to jump for the scalpel! Makes sense, I guess, since they are surgeons, though it would really be a more appropriate following of the Hippocratic Oath if they actually used more methods for healing than slicing and dicing. Ah well, that is why we are here, there is enough information from real women with varying levels of rectoceles on this forums. Do a search and settle in for hours of reading. Information and tools other than the knife will be your lifeline.
Can you tell us a bit more about your personal situation and how this rectocele came to be?

Hi Pat,
Welcome to WW. You'll find a wealth of knowledge here, and so much to help your body. Know that surgery is not the only option, and that so much can change with postural work, strengthening your whole body, looking at what you wear, how you move, and what you eat.
First, might help to find out a bit about what you have been experiencing in terms of what is wrong, as there is so much wisdom here about what helps with all sorts.
if you can, order the book and DVD and start the posture, start the excercises. Also look at your diet--I have found this to be crucial in dealing with my POP. I can share more, but in short a diet very high in fibre, lots of veg, pulses, fruit, no dairy (other than fresh live yogurt), no sweets---that all avoids inflammation and helps with the constipation that can come all to easily with a rectocele. also i just started magnesium citrate and that is helping a lot as well.
happy to share more if helpful, but hope to hear more from you so can gear this to what is of help to you.
