Very new to Whole Woman

Body: 

So looking forward to being a member of Whole Woman.

Only found Whole Woman two days ago when I was looking for relief from groin/thigh pain. See I have a lot to learn. wish I had of known some of this 21 years ago when in my early 50's when my uterus, possibly rectum and bladder prolapsed. Was given no choice really of treatment when small cysts were found on both ovaries other than a hysterectomy and didn't know any better. Since then had a repair done to the scar line with mesh because of a hernia bulge once again I was ignorant... That too was the only option offered so took that route.
About three years ago discovered I have cystocele, was sent to a urologist and this time I was given a choice to have a pessary inserted or to leave things as is because despite being a grade two it is not bothersome. I choose not to have a pessary inserted. However, have now realized that yes the prolapsed bladder is causing problems and that the pain in my groin and thigh are likely do to it too, (mesh repair too). but didn't know what to do about it until a couple of days ago :D
So here I am ready to take charge of my own health and to soak up some of the experienced knowledge of Whole Woman to repair/relieve the after effects of surgery and poor habits.

Hi Hathern and welcome. It is never too late to say "no" to further surgery. Every procedure leaves you with less and less of the natural pelvic dynamics to work with. So Whole Woman posture is the way to go, though you need to be cautious. Your best bet would be to get started on the posture work gently, and keep on the lookout for Christine's next product, which is specifically for the post-hyst woman. Read posts on the Hysterectomy forum to get an idea what to expect. Our goal here is to hold the organs forward in the belly, but hysterectomy and mesh repairs do unfortunately compromise the body's ability to do this effectively. Try getting down on hands and knees and see how this affects your prolapse and your groin pain.....hopefully, it feels good. Could there be mesh erosion or migration causing your pain? It is so hard to speculate what all might be going on. But we are glad you found us here! - Surviving
