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.

Hi Cace and welcome. I’m
Hi Cace and welcome. I’m sure by now you are busy immersing yourself in WW knowledge. You have lots to do and learn, and it’s quite a journey!
There is a search box up and to the left. You can put some of these terms in there, and look for past discussion on these topics. I don’t use any of these things, and I can only speak for myself and from what I have learned from Christine and the wonderful ladies here.
Pessaries don’t improve prolapse, but only alleviate the symptoms in SOME women and they are hard to fit. If you try one, be sure the doctor shows you how to remove and clean it yourself. Some of them think you should leave it for long periods of time between visits, but this is really not good for the tissues. The idea of Whole Woman posture is to get the organs forward into the relaxed lower belly, where they are no longer holding the vagina open. I’ve always thought a pessary really works against that. So try to concentrate on the postural approach as much as you can.
I don’t use hormones as I don’t feel the need to expose myself to the potential risks. I guess if you are considering a pessary, your doc might like for you to build up the vaginal walls in preparation for that. For me, that’s another reason why pessary use should probably be reserved for only certain cases where the benefits outweigh other considerations. It’s just not something I identify with, but you can look for threads and comments from users.
Please check in and let us know how you’re doing. I discovered my ‘celes post-menopause and have been doing this work for going on three years now. I’m thankful every day that I landed here before starting down any other path. This is about prolapse and SO much more (healthy hips, healthy spine, healthy mind and body!!) - Surviving
