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.

prolapse and incontinence surgery
Thanks for the heads-up, Tathagata. This situation gets to the heart of the problem of women, prolapse, and the medical/pharmaceutical/device manufacturer/governmental and now legal systems in the developed nations. Basically, it is business as usual here in the States, as the FDA has ordered the device manufacturers to conduct studies on thousands more women to prove the safety of transvaginal mesh. As if we do not have enough data that these surgeries are morbid and life-destroying. These devices have built into their price structure the cost of litigation. There is a new kind of in-your-face brazenness that the incredibly powerful agents who control women's health care are deceiving the public with. Here is a link to the AUGS website where you can read for yourself how the use of mesh is being defended. Ain't urogynecology grand?

Implants
This is not about prolapse surgery but it's the same sort of thing that happens to women with surgeons.We have had a lot of women here who had their breast implants rupture.Also a lot of women have had trouble with something called designer vaginas.I'm not sure what will happen to the women now.That is why i will never have surgery for my prolapse as it could go horribly wrong.it's a nuisance but i put up with it and would never contemplate surgery.

I too live in UK, and I have just listened on i-player (catch-up radio/TV) to the Woman's Hour debate on transvaginal tapes (mesh). Thank you, Tathagata for drawing our attention to this, and I urge anybody else in UK to listen. It seems that the tapes have been used since 1995: it is however only a question of time before infection and erosion are likely to occur. Truly scary. Thank you so much Whole Woman for making a stand against surgery, and showing us a different,positive, way forward.

mesh and tapes
Food for thought. I could have been one of those women in 2003. I am so glad I found Wholewoman first.
