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.

paps etc
The fact is, YOU have to live with your prolapse and you are the only one who knows how it feels. Your doctor examined you laying down and I am guessing was only there for a matter of minutes. This does not give her the authority to determine the severity of your POP. I am sorry you did not get the confirmation you would like, but you already know exactly what is happening for you.
Pap smears are often so rough on the vagina. Those horrid speculums disturb the vaginal vault on so many levels. Can you take it easy today and heal up?

smears and prolapse
hi new_mamma. so sorry to hear you had a rough time the dr's. I had a similar experience with a gyn dr examining me, telling me my vagina was 'normal' and being rather heavy handed with the speculum while doing a smear,i felt my pop was worse afterwards too, took about two weeks for the new discomfort to subside. i have vowed to be bold next time i have an examination and tell the dr BEFORE im on the bed that my vagina and pelvic organs are very tender and any 'rummaging' around in there will leave me in pain and less able for quite a while after,so to be very very gentle.i think its crazy that a dr can decide how bad a prolapse is by examining a woman lying on her back, seems logical that they should try and get a look at whats where when a woman stands,as thats when i notice my pop because everythings going downwards with gravity. my pop wasnt worsened for long after my smear, i just rested as much as i could(not v.much with a toddler and a baby!) and tried to be in posture as much as i could. i hope you also feel better soon x
