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.

It starts very early on
There's a certain anatomy we are born with, and another that develops over the course of growing up. I suppose some prolapse conditions could be congenital, but would expect them to be associated with such things as spinal malformations.
By our teen years we are practically all misshapen. Here's an example: You know that in normal anatomy our palms are supposed to face in toward our thighs when our arms are hanging down at our sides? The next time you pass a group of teenagers, notice that many of their palms face the back. That's due to their shoulders being rounded and their chest caved in - the classic cool slump.
Yes, it's completely amazing to begin to understand how we are meant to be!

Retroverted uterus when young
Hi KathyG
Yep, same with me. First internal exam, probably about 24 yo, it was there, and stayed that way after three births. An older midwife suggested straight after the birth of our first baby that I lie on my tummy for a couple of days and it might tip forward again as it shrinks back after the birth, but nobody followed up on it. Has anyone else had any experience with that?
I 'blossomed' around 14, did gymnastics and dancing, and had pretty good posture, but I admit that I had my belly even then, and was very self-conscious about it when everybody else had flat tummies. Not an ounce of fat on any of them! The dreaded gymnastics teacher was one for tucking the butt in too, so my poor old pelvic floor copped a hammering from the top down from very early on. Maybe during girlhood is when it happens, when you start sprouting hips and everything starts changing positions on the inside.
However, now I have a cystocele, with the bladder sagging back, the uterus is tipped forward. Ironic, isn't it?
Cheers
Louise
