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!

Hi Candy,
Hi Candy,
Are you currently working on the whole woman posture and practices? Pulling those organs forward will help in better symptom management. This includes pulling the rectum into better alignment, possibly helping you with this issue.
You should also make sure the pouch of your rectocele is empty by splinting it during bowel movements.
Others with rectocele may come on with more advice.

Hi Candy,
Hi Candy,
Start out by looking around this site to find out what whole woman is all about; especially look at the video on the home page with Christine explaining some of the important aspects of this work. Then go to the whole woman store where you will find all the products available to help you better understand this work. Many of us started out with the Saving the Whole Woman book and The First Aid For Prolapse DVD. There are also online versions of everything.
Splinting is where you insert two fingers and hold them against the posterior vaginal wall to help hold the rectocele flat during a bowel movement. You can put "splinting" into the search box to find more information. Also, if you put rectocele into the search box, you can find out more abou that too.
Please do take a look around and learn more about this very important work.

Sex and rectocele
Hi Candy - I have cystocele and rectocele and I've been doing the WW work for 5-1/2 years. I haven't had this problem myself, but I think the best advice would be to work on getting your organs properly aligned as Aging Gracefully says. The posture correction goes a long way and extends to every aspect of your daily life. Try to avoid the sexual positions where you find this problem most likely to occur. You yourself might want to experiment with getting down on hands and knees and see how it feels to have the organs resting in the lower belly. This take the most pressure off your prolapse and may help you find the best position for sex. Getting the organs to move forward to their original position, is what WW is about, so do check it out. - Surviving
