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 stillkickin'
Yes, I remember reading something like this. It's vague now as I think it was some time back that I read it, but I was a little confused by it. As you say why turn the cervix around? I find by taking the cup of my hand, and gently pushing the uterus upwards, it retracts and backs up the vaginal canal and over the pelvic bone. The cervix is naturally still on the lower end of the uterus and if you stuck your finger up the canal it would touch your cervix first. And don't be embarrassed by not knowing the anatomical terms and their positions. This is something you learn over time and by asking pertinent questions. The majority of us after all have not done medical degrees. It seems to me the simple fact of the matter that there is no way anatomically possible "so that it (cervix) protrudes out AFTER or above the uterus".

Can you clarify?
"I find by taking the cup of my hand, and gently pushing the uterus upwards, it retracts and backs up the vaginal canal and over the pelvic bone."
I can't visualize this method. I'm guessing this is if the uterus is hanging out? And how do you get it to retract? If I stick my finger in my vagina to push the uterus back up, it immediately drops back down. Is that because everything that is sitting above the uterus is not fluid enough yet to move out of the way and let the uterus back up to a higher position?
Thank you!

Hi truffle
Not sure what it is you are asking. If you are bending forward, then your hand can be placed between your legs and the uterus can sit comfortably in the cup of your hand and while still bent over the uterus can be gently retracted into place. It must be gentle and slow otherwise you can hurt the uterus if it is full extended much as a full balloon and it will become stuck and very difficult to shift. Slow diaphragm breathing as you do this can help if it gets stuck as so can lubrication. It is yes if the uterus is hanging out and is in response to stillkickin' s enquiry. The uterus usually falls back down if the ligaments are stretched as in prolapse and if other organs are pressing upon it. You probably notice the uterus will descend when you defecate or urinate. This is why diet is important to ensure as far as possible that bladder and rectum and intestines are not inflamed or full and thus pressing against the uterus and forcing it down.

thank you!
I knew the uterus was falling because of the worn out/abused ligaments were causing this. I think I'm safe in assuming that's why every single person is on this forum? From my reading here and elsewhere, there is no way to repair these ligaments so they will pull the uterus up, so this is why I am puzzled how someone can get their uterus to "stay" up.
I'm pretty good on my diet, but will read more on here about it.
Thanks again!

Truffle
Now I am puzzled. You asked me to clarify which I did, and then you tell me I am telling you the obvious? However, I will persevere and ignore your 'safety in assuming' as stillkickin' is probably interested in the subject seeing as how it was she who brought it up in the first place. We are talking about round ligaments here which are distinctly different from other ligaments which are not retractable. If you wish to know more on that, I suggest that you make an appointment with Christine Kent who has already given you her personal time gratis on this forum. If you have been reading Aging Gracefully's posts you would have noticed that she advises WW posture, walking and exercises every day, jiggling and fire breathing frequently throughout (as long as you are not pregnant or show signs of something else other than prolapse going on down there) and that is how she is able to keep her uterus up She has also spent a lot of time working on a diet that suits her personally. It's work that has to be done Truffle and if you are cynical about Christine's WW then good for you, that's healthy, but I suggest the only true way to resolve that issue for yourself is for you to buy the "Saving the Wholewoman" book and begin to understand it.
