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.

research into incontinenece without mentioning prolapse
Hi surviving60,
Thanks for that link. I haven't had time to look at the link yet but will do. I agree, seems very strange to study incontinence without including prolapse issues. Hmmm, I wonder if there are hidden agendas here, such as preferred outcomes/possible longer term financial gains...
Given that it is women who experience women's problems, I think it's always helpful when researches include 'open questions' and ask women for their opinions about their problems.
Thanks for sharing, wholewomanuk

research
Yes, prolapse is the elephant in the room, hard to quantify other than saying it is big, but too big to include in this basic study.
I would suspect that this study will be part of a bigger study. The nature of scientific research is that they have to find answers to questions one at a time. Including other factors, such as progesterone or prolapse, would confound their findings and possibly make it harder to draw sound conclusions.
I think we will hear more about these studies.
I wonder who is funding them?
At least these basic questions are being asked, for whatever reason.
Re, "Northington doesn't recommend stopping estrogen but she does urge women to talk with their doctor before starting therapy." Much of the support for HRT comes from the fact that HRT seems to stop the increase in women suffering heart attacks and strokes post menopause. This keeps women out of hospitals and nursing homes and reduces the amount of money spent on sickness care.
The Cynical Old Tart in me says it keeps women healthy and at home, looking after their invalid husbands who have had heart attacks and strokes, so it keeps the men out of hospitals and nursing homes too!
