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.

DVDs
I have the first two DVDs, but they are lost somewhere in this house. I thought I might see a little on line. Oh well, they will turn up. Thanks.

weakening of the uterus lining
Hi, I am new to this site but am ever so glad to have found it. My doctor inserted a pessary though she recommended a hysterectomy,which I refused. The pessary works fine till I pick up something heavy, then it seems to slide down. The doc says the lining of my uterus is whats shifting and causing the pessary to slip down. My question is, will the exercises you recommend help strengthen the lining? And is it ok to keep the pessary in and do the exercises. Thanks.

Hi and welcome! There are many different kinds of pessaries, they are tricky to fit, and they don't work for all women. At best, they alleviate symptoms when this is most needed. But they do not "treat" prolapse and they can worsen things in the long run.
I cannot speak to the accuracy of your doctor's statement that the slippage of the uterine lining is causing your pessary to move. I have never heard that particular theory. But if your doctor recommends hysterectomy as a treatment for prolapse, she is giving you bad (harmful!) advice, and I am glad you've found your way here. The medical profession has an awful track record with female pelvic health. We must educate and help ourselves.
WW is much much more than an exercise program. It is the posture correction that is the key to prolapse management. If you want to leave your pessary in while you do the exercises, that's OK as long as you are remaining in correct Whole Woman posture, both while exercising, and the rest of the day as well! Correct posture while lifting may help you keep the pessary in place. Learn this posture and at some point you will feel confident without the pessary. All of us here are living with the bulge in varying degrees. There is no cure for this as such. - Surviving
