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!

Rectocele
Hi Cecilly
I presume you mean rectocele.
If it is harder or has 'more substance' just before a bowel motion you can probably assume it is a rectocele, ie there is stool in the rectum. If it doesn't change just when you are ready to pass a motion, then I think you can assume it is not a rectocele.
As you have had an hysterectomy already I would think you might want a formal diagnosis. However, I wouldn't be bearing down hard for any doctor as part of that diagnosis!

Rectocele
Thanks, Louise for your response. When my bowels feel full (right before I need to "go'), or right after I go (w/out any straining as I take a supplement to help keep things soft and moving), there is a little bulge at the rear end of the vagina. However, it is soft. I don't feel any "substance" when I touch it to push it back in. I have no pain, just this little bulge that shows up a few times during the day. I think my bladder is low too, but intact. I have no incontinence. I think I am able to empty my bladder sufficiently, but sometimes I have a strong urge to pee with only a little coming out. I can also see the urethra opening clearly.
I do plan on meeting with my Dr. very soon.
