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.

discomfort after sex
Hi busymama,
What sort of prolapse(s) do you have?
I have cyst/rect with more minor uterine and I have to say sometimes sex is great for them, and other times not so much. I was thinking about this the other day and wondered whether sex would be better for repositioning the uterus rather than the others. In trying to picture what would be going on, I was thinking maybe the bladder might get caught on the wrong side of the head of the penis and end up getting dragged down rather than pushed up. Does that make sense? If this is the case, maybe trying to manually reposition the bladder before intercourse might work (sexy thought I know!). Anyway I might give it a go. I'm sure others will have some thoughts and ideas.

About the big one
Good to hear about the great progress you have been making. When it comes to the big one......
Yes, I have to agree with Curiosity. The way I see it, the penis’ piston like action means there is a dragging down as well as a pushing up. So I guess the final withdrawal of the penis can mean a dragging down.
And the pushing up only happens if the penis is positioned directly in normal conjunction with the uterus. When the uterus is prolapsed, it can be in any position within the vulva and vagina. So the penis bumping into its side can be just as likely to happen as hitting the target through its smiley. Any guy in this situation who can hit the smiley target blind folded every time would be a genius.
If in the missionary position, you on your back, your partner on top, you raise your knees, the soles of your feet on the mattress, you should be able to draw your uterus up by a process similar to kegeling in preparation for the introduction of the penis.
But hey you are only 33 years old and a few months postpartum. It will get better. Once you have your newest littlie independently crawling or walking on two feet, you will have some more time to yourself to rest and avoid lifting heavy, working hard. I know most people like doing these things as an extension of an otherwise good, strong body. But just for a little while longer curb you impatience. Trust in the process that WW posture provides. At your strong, healthy age it is an eminently winnable proposition.
Best wishes Fab

here ya go!
So glad you are feeling wonderful!!! I bet your baby is just delightful right now. I love when they start sitting up and trying to crawl and getting those bottom baby teeth.
I had to laugh when you said you needed to lie down after sex. My modus operandi is to start lying down and not have to get up at all ;) So lazy! I know. Maybe try it though. Restful, therapeutic sex. See what happens if you make it all about you feeling good.

sex
Yeah, we are actually able to enjoy it, and allowed to enjoy it. What is it worth if we can't/don't enjoy it???
It doesn't have to be a big effort. Once you can get your brain to visualise where everything is in your pelvis you will find it easier to work out what will work for you and what will not. It is not all about penetration!
