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.

Mamabear, first of all, if
Mamabear, first of all, if you are trying to stop the flow of pee with a kegel-type contraction, I wouldn't. I've heard that is one way to get a UTI if you are prone to get those. Maybe so, maybe not, but this isn't good for prolapse either, contrary to what many "experts" say. I don't know what you're seeing, but a fistula would probably involve more serious symptoms. I'm no fan of doctors, but maybe you need to visit one just to rule that out, so that you can quit worrying. - Surviving

urethral opening
Hi Mamabear,
What you are probably seeing is the urethral opening, which migrates inside the vagina in many of us with prolapse. Be brave and take a closer look - highly likely it's your urethra.

I'm having a hard time
I'm having a hard time knowing what I"m looking at and all the pictures that come up on google are so small, I still can't tell, but I'm sure you are right Christine. I found pictures that described the fistula that looked like me but the symptoms didn't line up at all. We confirmed that I'm pregnant today...so I want to use this time the best I can to prepare for the birth. I'm not exactly sure where to start. Last week I made it a goal to not sit around all morning and to squat instead if I must "sit" and use the toilet in a squatting position. I'm flexible enough to squat comfortably but I still have a way to got to get the pelvis out of the tucked position. I"m working with my foot posture and letting my belly out, I didn't realize I was a belly sucker, but I do hold the top of my belly in. working on calf stretches a litlte, as just standing up until noon caused me to be really sore!
I also have a 3.75" diastasis that I think is contributing to my chronic constipation. I've been working to heal naturally for the past 6 months through eating nourishing foods, but so far not much change in the digestion, which lead me to believe it probably has more to do with the "core" issues I'm having.
