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.

Cystocele and rectocele
Hi Cecilly,
yes, you spelled it correctly ;-).
A cystocele is (I'm not an expert, so I hope to explain it correct), when your bladder bulges in the front of your vagina.
A rectocele is when the bowel bulges on the backwall of your vagina.
Sorry, English is not my mother tongue, so I can't explain it better. Hope this helps until anyone else can jump in ;-).
Best wishes

Bulge...can't tell...
Butterfly, when the bulge is poofing out beyond the vaginal opening, how can you tell then? That's the case with me. There is a prominent bulge (when I sit down, it feels like I'm sitting on a small water balloon). I try to push it back in and up, but it all just feels like soft pudding up in there (I've had a hysterectomy unfortunately). My urethra has also dropped pretty low.

Cecilly, if you go to the
Cecilly, if you go to the Resources tab, and then to the Library, and put "prolapse self-exam" into the search box, you will fine an article (and this is also in Christine's book, Saving the Whole Woman"). I do not know if having hysterectomy would make it any easier or harder to tell what else you have. If it's important to know, you can get a diagnosis from a doctor, though this can be cause for needless confusion if you ask me. I've never had one, and I am very poor at self-diagnosis, but many things point to my having both. - Surviving
