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!

fibroids
Hi Salt
I was reading about fibroids today. The statistics I saw said that a large percentage of women have them, but they obviously don't give too much trouble. They are after all, benign. If you had them the radiologist would have probably picked them up, if in fact they are easily detected on ultrasound. Maybe they are not? Is that the reason why you had the ultrasound?

just ask
They must note them- even if your doctor thinks they are no big deal, it will be in the radiology report :)

ultrasound
the ultrasound was to make sure there was not something like fibroids, adenomyosis, cancer etc causing the prolapses (because I am 35 and never had children - rare to have prolapses).
I am hoping to get up the nerve to see the actual report. here we don't normally get to see those things. the doctor sees it and then tells us what's on it. but unfortunately, some doctors make an 'executive decision' to not tell their patient if they think it's nothing to worry about.
my thought was that if I know what is going on, even if it's nothing to 'worry' about, then I can address it with natural methods and perhaps it could be another thing in my favour as far as helping reverse prolapses. :-)

Salt, what country do you live in?????
Salt, I am so sorry to hear that you have such difficulty getting access to a report about *your* body, that you have paid for out of your pocket, or the taxpayer's pocket!
In my experience it is always important to get copies of these reports,
a in case you change doctors
b in case original scans etc are not transferred to new formats and become unreadable
c in the case of hard copy scans, ie x-ray film, that they get damaged or lost.
In my experience the doctor usually makes that executive decision on the basis that the patient might become unnecessarily alarmed, or start arguing with, or challenging the doctor's opinion, which is a waste of everybody's time. I think it is about paternalism and the power dynamic in the doctor/patient relationship, or should I say the patient/doctor relationship.
Just ask him. The worst he can say is no. He is more likely to say that there is little point because you wouldn't understand him. That's not the point. The point is that it is about your body, and you are engaging him for service, not the other way around!
BTW, if he says no, and you have been nice when you asked him, you can probably resort to Freedom of Information Laws if you have them in your country. They don't like that. Most of them will respond to reasonable requests, as long as they don't think the information will be used against them. I don't understand the point of withholding information from a patient report.
End of rant!

canada :)
hi Louise,
I'm in Canada.
the land of the terminally polite, never want to ruffle anyone's feathers people!
I wholeheartedly agree with all of your rant!
I'm short on time just now but thank you so much for your reply. it boosted me up and helped me feel like I have a reason to ask for a copy (reason a feels easiest).
thanks!
:-)
