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 Linda - I'm so glad you
Hi Linda - I'm so glad you have found us here. Welcome to Whole Woman! Sorry that you lost your long post, hope that when you are feeling up to it you can come back and fill us in on more details.
I'm glad you cancelled the appointment. If you go to a surgeon, the surgeon will push surgery of course! I have some recommendations for you. Read up on hysterectomy on the WW website and on the HERS website (on the latter there is a video detailing all the possible effects of hyst). And on the Whole Woman site there is a Resources tab up above here, where you can locate the Video page. On the video page you should watch the first one (a 20-minute overview of WW) and further down, Christine's interview with Nora Coffey of HERS. I predict you won't be seeking out surgeries of any kind after checking out these resources.
Getting a formal diagnosis is a matter of personal choice. I myself have never had one. I really don't want to hear what my doctor has to say about my prolapse because I fear it will only cause me to lose all confidence in her. Furthermore, diagnosing a prolapse is a very subjective matter. These organs are on the move all the time, not to mention, different docs will have their own definitions of "grade" and it can be most confusing and discouraging to the patient. The best reason for getting a formal diagnosis is to rule out anything more serious, if you have any worries there.
Check out Christine's teachings......this posture correction is basic to prolapse management, and to the health and well-being of the spine and hips as we age. It has been my salvation. Poke around the site, forum, blog.....come back with your questions. This is a wonderful supportive community. - Surviving

Thank you. ON my way to work.
Thank you. ON my way to work. Funny you said different opinions. My gyno in 2008 seemed almost disgusted by me when she said I had prolapse. In 2010 another gyno. in same practice said I had a little prolapse but nothing unusual. This new gyno, new doc same practice, said time to come out. Which I would never do! I'm so glad I found this place. In what I've read you're all so supportive. I had trouble finding the 20 minute video. I did listen to the nora coffey interview Tuesday night. I like the bike tire illustration that put it all in perspective for me.

Linda, the 20-minute video is
Linda, the 20-minute video is the first one on the Video page. It's called "The Whole Woman Approach to Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Urinary Incontinence". This video was the starting point for me, and I have never looked back!! Give it a watch when you have time. - Surviving
