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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

RE: This Was Quite Interesting to Me
Too bad Sim's "enraptured vision" didn't extend to prevention! I guess it was an evolution we had to go through, but it came from a long history of dissecting animals and when asepsis allowed these same "arts" to be applied to women (most early surgery was gynecologic surgery - still is) these guys went a little nuts. The Lefort operation they speak so highly of sutures the vagina closed. It's all so very eerie.
If only women could have known the true cost of corsets, modern birthing practices, upholstered furniture, refined food, "high" standards of living, and yes Jonathan, indoor plumbing!
Thanks, Sybille!

LeFort Culpocliesis
Marlene in Milan I have had a complete (and necessary) hysterectomy in 2001. I had an anterior repair done in 2004 for bladder and vaginal prolapse. (The bladder repair failed and the vaginal support is only partially holding up.) I have tried several pessaries and simply cannot keep one in place. I also have a lot of discomfort with insertion and removal. My ob/gyn (a new one since I last contacted you) is willing to perform the LeFort procedure, but she thinks I am a bad surgical risk for anything more radical. I am a 72 year old widow, and have no plans for another marriage. My prolapse is so severe that I would be unable to perform sex anyhow. I also wear a Fembrace support garment which helps somewhat, but it is uncomfortable to wear excessively. I realize that this is a procedure with finality, but it appears that I have little choice in the matter. I also am told that urinary incontinence may be increased after closure. (I have no idea how much so, however). What can you (or anyone else)tell me about this procedure, and what would you advise? Thank you. Marlene in Milan. [email protected]
