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!

sex
Can't see a problem, especially if you get onto elbows and knees first and suck your uterus deep inside you before lying down.
General comment. Do you have a 'secret word' that you use during sex, that means "Stop!"(for when you really do mean stop, it hurts a lot.) Having this sort of trust with your sexual partner will enable you to try more things without the risk of being hurt if it doesn't work out well.
(If you don't trust your sexual partner, then it might be better off not to have sex with them.)
I always think it is a good move to be conscious of the positions of my pelvic organs before any sort of exertion. A uterus is pretty floppy and squishy, and will get out of the way of a penis pretty easily, anyway. We are designed for sex. It makes sense. One thing for sure, your uterus will be in the right place afterwards. ;-)

I have a delicate question
I keep hearing about how sex is safe with a prolapse as long as there is no undue pain or discomfort. My question is a bit more delicate in nature, but here goes anyway.
Is anal sex okay too, or will that somehow cause me to develop a rectocele, or for those already suffering with one will it make it worse? I know I am not the only person on here wondering, and I wouldn't want to do anything to make my condition worse or undo all the hard work with posture, exercise, etc.

won't cause a rectocele
or I highly doubt it anyway. Often times, once you develop a cystocele, the rectocele is not far behind.
My experience with prolapse is that you can try anything you like and if it makes things worse, stop doing it and the prolapse will improve.
Our bodies are not easily injured- if they were, then one bout of constipation would cause rectocele.

thanks alemama
this is such an encouraging reply alemama. thank you!
good point that if it was that easy to cause a rectocele, then one bad bout of constipation could do it.
I am going to print out this awesome sentence of yours on my little POP pep-talk page I wrote myself:
"My experience with prolapse is that you can try anything you like and if it makes things worse, stop doing it and the prolapse will improve."
this will help me be less fearful!
thanks

you and your body
You have a relationship with your body. You can learn from it and you can teach it. You can come to trust it too.
