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.

Pessary use and vaginal estrogen cream
When I was first diagnosed with a prolapse my gyno at the time told me the same thing. I changed doctors after a period of time. My second doctor told me to quit using the estrogen creme as they didn't recommend it anymore.
She fitted me with a different type of pessary. I have had to go to a larger size since then. She did say things change down there over time. I don't really know.
I use KY jelly as a lubricant and haven't had any problems with it.
Hope this helps.

pessary use and vaginal estrogen cream
I am post-menopausal as well, and I received the same recommendation from my doctor. She said that my vaginal tissues were pale and dry, and I should use estrogen cream with the pessary. However, I am quite concerned because a few years ago I received oral HRT and had a number of unpleasant results. I had irregular mammograms and had to return several times to see what was happening. I gained a lot of weight and also got a large number of small skin polyps. Suffice it to say that I was not happy with these side effects and was happy to give up HRT when the news broke that it really didn't help and might harm the cardio vascular system. However, now I am quite concerned about using estrogen cream. Does anyone know how much of the estrogen is absorbed into the bloodstream? How does the amount of circulating estrogen absorbed by the vagina compare to the amount usually taken orally? What are the risks of uterine cancer when using an estrogen cream?
