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 poetree and welcome,
Hi poetree and welcome,
Have you had a chance to look around this site? Whole woman posture and practices is what helps us the most in managing our prolapses. Some women do use pessaries, but learning the posture is by far better for our prolapse in the long run. I have the more profound uterine prolapse, and have been able to manage it just fine with this work. Check out this site and Christine's teachings! You won't be sorry!

Pessaries
Yes it's true, we have more ex-pessary users here! A pessary can be tricky to fit, and although it may mask the prolapse symptoms, it doesn't address the problem and can actually make things worse over time. The Whole Woman work will give you a way to manage things and lose that fear of the bulge. It's not so bad once you learn what's happening and you realize that you have the power to stabilize it so that you can get on with life, without worries about worsening. You can make virtually any activity prolapse-friendly once you know how.
While you are learning the posture, if you continue to use the pessary, you may find that it doesn't pop out so much because you have learned correct breathing and body position and you have harnessed the forces of gravity to help keep the organs forward in the relaxed lower belly. But really, masking your symptoms kinda gets in the way of this work. Better to feel what is happening - your bulge is an instant feedback mechanism.
Hope you have a chance to do more reading/viewing on these pages. This is a great community of women ready to answer any questions that pop up. - Surviving
