Welcome to the Whole Woman Village Forum!

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.

Uterine prolapse and menstruation

Submitted by rachelg on March 3, 2006 - 2:26pm

Body:

At 52 I still have my periods and find with the prolapse the whole lower abdomen very sore from the belly button down to the pubic bone. I suppose it would not be wise to do kegels at this point? Have any of you had this kind of pain and add to that sore legs because of heaviness of the uterus and bladder. By the way I have an inversion table which I use for the prolapse and it helps but not 100%. Is the slant board you are talking about from Dr. Bernard Jensen the same thing? Thanks.

Hi Rachel!

I find the wk b4 the menstrual is the worse. I feel the most sore and have lower back pain/bloating too. I look and feel pregnant but as the period comes on it does get better. If you don't find it getting better then go get checked out. I am sure mine is prolapse-related.

Yes, I really dislike that feeling of everything feeling lower during the period. I can already see my cervix at the opening sitting on my cystocele so it is just pressure and sagging during that time.

I hope you are feeling better. Just monitor to see if your symptoms go away when your period is over. Btw, what is a slant board/inversion table? How do i get one? Is it like a work out bench that has incline?

Inversion table/slant board

Hi Rachel,

when I researced the slant board on the Internet I found that the inversion tables were different in that there often was a much greater tilt to them. Most of the inversion tables I saw had flexible tilts whereas the slant board I have in fixed in one position. It is called a "Slant Six Table" It took some courage for me to ask about the slant board and now I'm so glad I did. I am learning so much on this forum. I will be interested in reading what other replies you receive in order to learn more. Thanks for your question!

Slant board

Hi mommi2three,
I used Google search under the heading of slant six board. That was how I found out what one looked like. That was also the way I found out about inversion tables as I had no clue what any of them were. Hope that helps

soreness during menstruation

rachel - I'm not sure if I have a uterine prolapse, in all probability I do. but I used to experience terrible soreness during my period (low back, legs, abdomen) and its all but disappeared since I've given up caffeine. just a thought.
