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.

Remember, the forum is here for two reasons. First, to get your questions answered by other women who have knowledge and experience to share. Second, it is the place to share your results and successes. Your stories will help other women learn that Whole Woman is what they need.
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 goddess and welcome. The
Hi goddess and welcome. The timing after your fall could be a coincidence, or could have just been one last straw that took your prolapse over the line from asymptomatic to symptomatic. For many of us, it just seemed to appear out of nowhere with no precipitating event, though such is really never the case. I honestly haven't heard of too many women using imaging to diagnose prolapse, as a doctor can do it for you, or you can do it for yourself. But if you are concerned about wanting to rule out something else, then do whatever seems right for you.
You will want to get started on the WW postural work as soon as possible, because only then can you really judge which types of exercise are helpful and which to avoid. You can safely do just about anything once you understand the concepts and are starting to go throughout your day in correct alignment. It makes a huge difference in body, mind and spirit.
I have no experience with chiropractors - others may be able to comment there. I think that many of them are pretty closely aligned with WW in their view of correct spinal shape - maybe others not to much. So proceed there with caution. The WW work teaches you to hold your pelvic contents forward against the lower abdominal wall. Women are really different from men with respect to spinal curvature.
A "retroverted" uterus is, I think, just another way of describing an early stage of uterine prolapse, which WW posture and other tools can do much to correct. Have no fear, you are on the right path here! - Surviving

endometriosis
Hi Goddess,
I agree with everything Surviving said, but want to make a couple of additional comments.
I’ve been studying the microbiology of the pelvic organs for several years now, and find myself convinced that endometriosis is a disease much like UTI, BV, and IBS. Simply put, the lining of the uterus is normally cultured with beneficial bacteria. However, pathogenic species can take over and literally burn holes in the endometrium of the uterus, just like they do in the urothelium of the bladder, and the epithelial lining of the colon.
Many disease-causing species, like Chlamydia, are able to ascend into the uterus, out the fallopian tubes, and embed into the peritoneal cavity where they cause the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease. I believe it is possible that other species we don’t associate with STDs, such as E.coli and Streptococcus, cause a similar situation - except they dislodge endometrial cells into the peritoneal cavity as well, which continue the menstrual cycle outside the uterus.
These are all unique (bladder, vagina, uterus, gut) epithelial cell layers, yet their underlying physiology is very similar. They exist not only to serve the human being, but also to feed and house enormous populations of bacteria. Endometriosis is a problem of dysbiosis!
What’s really astonishing is that medical science has known about this for a very long time, and has even tried to treat endometriosis with probiotics, which is unsuccessful for reasons explained in The Miraculous Self-Healing Vagina (https://www.wholewomanstore.com/The-Miraculous-Self-Healing-Vagina-Video...)
The problem is currently being completely ignored because gynecology is a surgical specialty, and endometriosis is the leading indication for hysterectomy - the bread and butter of the gynecologic industry.
Women suffering with endometriosis need to learn the Whole Woman Way to Vulvovaginal Health (https://www.wholewomanstore.com/The-WW-Way-to-Vulva-Vaginal-Health-Onlin...).
I continue to haunt the medical center library every Monday morning and am putting all of this information into the upcoming Whole Woman Cookbook, because Hippocrates was absolutely right: our food is our very best medicine.
Wishing you well,
Christine
