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.

Dear Tammy,
Yes, it might be good to see a pelvic floor surgeon, or urogynecologist. The problem is, like in kmc55

RE: Scared!
I'm still getting used to how to post and reply here so I hope this works.
Thank you for your responses. I know for a fact that the surgery I had caused the problem I have now. I wish I had never done it. The doctor told me there might be a chance of recurrance, but he never told me that the prolapse could return thru my vagina. I am so angry! Not only at him, but myself for not investigating all my options. I guess I was just so freaked out by how it looked. But coming out my rear looked a whole lot better than coming out my front!
Anyway, I have lots more questions but I have to go to work. Thank you again for your time, and I'll be back to read, post, educate myself, and try to take back control of my body!
Tammy

RE: Scared!
Alas! I'm new to this site myself, so don't have the experience of others here, but just want to send along a bit of support and sympathy. I just was told that I needed a hysterectomy, rectopexy, cystopecy, and some webb attaching my vagina to my sacrum. I want to find out as much as I can about any and all alternatives, and I hope you can do the same for your specific situation. I sure don't think going back to the same surgeon seems good -- maybe he messed up? If so, yipes. I'll be hoping you find a better alternative, and best of luck,

Hi Tammy,
I don't know if this will help you or not but I have a friend who has a rectocele (she hasn't had any surgery on it) but I told her about the posture and she uses it and says it helps her quite a bit. She also got a v2 supporter belt and wears it to support her rectocele. She is also very careful about not letting herself get constipated (as most of us are.)
I have a prolapsed uterus and cystocele and when I cough or sneeze I bend over from the waist. This seems to keep the pressure away from the pelvic organs.
Most days are pretty good but there are still some that aren't so great.
Best of luck to you.
