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.

Hi Celebrista,
Hi Celebrista,
Can you tell us a little more about yourself? What kind of prolapse you have and any concerns?

Hi, I am new too with a grade 2 cystocele and rectocele
I have suffered for 6 months and been following this forum for guidance. It's great to have an outlet for these problems. I didn't know your organs could fall out or come down like this until it happened to me. With my bladder just hanging there, bending the neck 90 degrees, it was excruciating. I felt like someone was pulling me inside out. I went to 3 gynecologists and finally settled on the University of Florida Shands Women's Health. I finally got a pessary and let me tell you, I should have had it months ago! I can function again and I am not curled up in a ball on the couch. I am still looking at surgery, one doctor actually said, "you don't need a pessary, you need surgery". But it is waiting for a surgical center to open up here in Florida after Irma that is taking so long. The pessary makes my days comfortable again. Mine is an Eva ring with support. I also found Poise makes a temporary pessary for bladder incontinence that helps a little until you can get fitted for the pessary. Just having everything back where it belongs has made a huge difference and I am soooo happy about it. Has anyone else experienced the feeling like someone is pulling you from inside out? Ps. I am 41 years old

I am new to having a pessary. I love it!
I hope you have had as good of luck with yours. What type do you have? Mine is a ring with support. I am still thinking about having surgery, because I am 41 and think I will have it, then keep using the pessary for support. What do you think?
