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.

bladder neck suspension
Hi Everhopeful...so glad you are doing well!
Your friend had the same procedure that propelled me on a years-long journey of trying to understand what had been done to my body and how I could naturalize my pelvis. Whole Woman was the result.
The "good work" has actually tied her vagina to her abdominal wall. Long sutures embedded on the outside of her front vaginal wall have been anchored to her lower belly, perhaps to "Cooper's ligament" at the front of her pelvis, or in my case the musculature of my lower belly. This pulls the bladder neck forward as well, creating a severe and unnatural angle between bladder and urethra. She will probably never have a drop of urinary incontinence again, however...her vagina is now "tented" so that she becomes much more susceptible to uterine prolapse because the uterus simply slides down the open front vaginal wall. If she does not have her uterus, her bowel will very likely collapse into her vagina, known as enterocele. Gynecology has been very aware of these realities for decades. It is a foolish surgery first developed in 1949 for incontinent men who had lost their prostate to cancer.
On the one hand, WW posture is the only way to recreate some semblance of natural anatomy after a bladder neck suspension. However, I would be very cautious in messing with her "good work", in case she were to blame the posture for her impending prolapse.
Best wishes,
Christine

Thank you Christine
For all the amazing research u have done to help women every where . I have a better understanding of that op now and can c why ops r often only for short term success. The surgeons only seem to look at one problem at a time and solve it at the cost of something else going wrong later. Holistic health is what all women want and I am so glad that I have followed your amazing ,informed advice. My father told me to never have any op at all unless it was the only choice left ,what a wise man he was. Thx once again for all your help.

question about your Burch surgery
Did you have this done for a prolapsed uterus or a prolapsed bladder or incontinence? What is the Burch surgery specifically for? Just a bit confused. Thanks, NoraB

Burch
Christine did not have prolapse, but had this Burch bladder neck suspension procedure to address mild incontinence. It triggered an immediate and profound uterine prolapse. - Surviving
