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 SNM and welcome to Whole
Hi SNM and welcome to Whole Woman. It sounds like garden-variety cystocele and/or rectocele to me - it is common to have both. And yes, with proper understanding of posture/exercise/toileting, you can do pretty much any activity you want. I would back off the heavy gym workouts until you learn enough to understand what is safe. You are probably correct in thinking this may have been what pushed you the rest of the way; prolapse happens over time, but when it finally becomes symptomatic, it can seem like it came out of the blue.
Quality rest is important for all of us; but the important work of prolapse management is done when we are on our feet, using gravity, posture and breathing to help hold the organs forward. And you should be doing more than questioning surgery.....you should be saying NO right here and now. Keep reading here, get ready for that appointment; you will most likely not get helpful advice there. - Surviving
