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.

yeast infections
I'm not the last word on this, having had only one in my life (and that was more than enough, thank you!). it was the day before we were scheduled to fly overseas for 2 weeks, so I just used monistat3 or something like that and it went away, never to return. I would imagine the drugs work regardless of POP (you dont want antibiotics, btw, those cause yeast infections, you'd need an antifungal), but if you have time, there are definitely natural ways to treat this. do a google search or type it in the search box here, but the first things that come to my mind are probiotics (by mouth and you can also insert plain yogurt with active live cultures vaginally - raw garlic is said to be helpful too) and cutting out sugars from your diet for a while.
my dd had some chronic yeast infections along with constipation, I believe the two are closely related, so watch out for that. I also found that any vinegar would trigger a yeast infection for her, even if it was just added to the wash.
and I believe it was louise who mentioned to wear only cotton undies (or none at all) and let pubic hair grow slightly longer to help prevent the yeasties from traveling around the area.
good luck, I hope you get rid of it soon. so not fun : (

I had one ( I think, or at least the start of one!) about a week ago. I started looking through all of my "go to" items in my bathroom closet. I found an old jar of Angel Baby Bottom Balm (old meaning, from my son who is 7 now!). It has all kinds of herbals in it. I remembered it worked well for diaper rash. I put it on 3-4 times a day for about 4 days or so. And, after a shower made sure the area was really dry (hairdryer!). It went away. I don't know if it would work for a really bad one though, maybe if you get to it right away. I've heard coconut oil could work too!
