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.

What is it?
What's the name of this procedure? Docs are good at making things sound like nothing. There are lots of other things you can be doing for prolapse and for problems with emptying. Please don't jump to quickly into this. - Surviving

For kec1944
I agree with Surviving60, don't jump too quickly in having the procedure. Read as much as you can on this site. I am new and am learning something new every day.
When you cannot empty your bladder, try what was taught to me by someone who had the same problem (not being able to empty, that is). After you finishing doing what you can the usual way, stand and bend over at the waist and try again. You might have to wait a few seconds. OR, instead of sitting in the first place, just bend over the bowl and try to empty that way. Let me know if it works for you.
Good luck!

Dear kec1944
Your doc has done a thorough examination and has found excess tissue consistent with fibrous or fibromuscular tissue which is obstructing your urethra. Will this get worse if left alone: grow larger? Will it get to the stage when you can't empty at all? Is this the type of fibroid mass that is not usually cancer and will go at menopause?
Stage 1 cystocele and rectocele usually in themselves effect the urine flow. I wonder can you learn to empty your urine enough so that you do not have a pressing need to go? We usually recommend, and this is just for the 'celes mind not for fibroid masses obstructing, that when you void that you then stand again in posture and perhaps jiggle a bit and then return to the toilet and you will often find you will void more. It is possible just with 'celes to be conscientious with making sure you void completely and that stale urine is not left to pool. Some ladies completely empty when they shower by bending over on all fours as recommended in Christine's book.
The prospect of incontinence is not a good thought so I would be asking just a few more questions of your doctor as well if you haven't already.
I hope someone else can give you more advice from personal experience of this.
best wishes, Fab

prolapsed urethra?
Fibrous/fibromuscuar tissue. I am no doctor, but that sounds like bunched up urethra to me, like you have a prolapsed urethra, or something similar, with lots of bends in your urethra.
Am I right in saying that you are seven months postpartum? If so, I wouldn't even think about an operation until you are two years postpartum.
If it is a prolapsed urethra, urinating in all fours position with relaxed belly, will stretch it out. Regular firebreathing and WW posture will eventually rotate your organs forward again, and keep it stretched out.
Does this sound possible?
