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.

Our vaginas do change as we
Our vaginas do change as we get older. The diminishing estrogen cause the rugae of the vaginal walls to thin out and become smoother. That may be what you are experiencing. I also feel a looseness more at some times than others, but don't concern myself with it too much anymore. I think we will always feel some differences, depending on what we have been doing or not doing, along with the natural changes in our bodies.
Keeping up with the whole woman work will keep you moving in a positive direction though, regardless of set backs from time to time.

Thanks, Aging Gracefully.
Thanks, Aging Gracefully. This wad of tissue is maybe the size of a walnut or more, and while I can push it up, it falls right back down. If it's the vaginal walls, does that make it a vaginal vault prolapse? Are there any nutritional strategies it responds to?

vault prolapse
Skagway, do you still have your uterus? Vault prolapse is almost always a post-hyst problem - Surviving

Well, in that case I really doubt that it's a vault prolapse, although I'm not sure what the symptoms would be. is this loose tissue on the front or the back wall, and can you distinguish it from your 'celes? What makes it uncomfortable? - Surviving

Surviving, it doesn't seem to
Surviving, it doesn't seem to be on the front or back wall, just dangling down from somewhere. It doesn't feel firm or smooth like the coeles, just like loose, moist tissue. Maybe it's fear of the unknown that makes it so uncomfortable, but it also keeps the vagina open and feels irritated.

Hmm, that is interesting. If
Hmm, that is interesting. If you have ruled out it being a cystocele or rectocele, or just plain sagging vaginal walls, it could be your cervix. The uterus is the heavier of the pelvic organs, So it is not going to respond quite as readily. How far do you have to insert your finger before you feel it? The other bulges are usually right at or very near the opening of the vagina, while the uterus could be just a bout anywhere.

Aging, I haven't ruled out
Aging, I haven't ruled out sagging vaginal walls, because I don't know how to rule them out. Sagging vaginal walls and a vaginal vault prolapse are two different things, then? (I'm starting to feel better about this.) I feel it pretty close to the opening of the vagina.

Vaginal vault is really
Vaginal vault is really usually only typical when the uterus has been removed. The uterus is a pretty much in the way up there. I know with mine, I can feel all around the cervix and part of the fundus, and have never felt anything bulging around it. Since my uterus is prolapsed as it is, I do get more of a sagging vaginal wall, but it doesn't bother me like it used to. Sometimes if my uterus is acting up, it can put more pressure on my bladder forcing it to be more noticeable at the opening too.
If it is really uncomfortable, you may want to get it checked out.
