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 DeLyn and welcome. If you
Hi DeLyn and welcome. If you go over to the blog page and do a search on kegels, you will find several articles explaining why they don't work and are actually counter-productive (they pull the organs INTO the vaginal space). I myself, and millions like me, are proof that kegels to nothing to help prolapse. If they did, I think we would have wiped prolapse off the map by now!
For starters you can watch this video:

Traditional "core" exercise focusing on tight abs has been a huge contributing factor to the rise of prolapse over the years. But running and even high-impact exercise can be safe once you have corrected your posture.
Pessaries can be a short-term solution, but they are tricky to fit and they definitely have their drawbacks (they are especially bad for rectocele).
Lots to learn here! We are living well with prolapse and you can too. You can do anything you want. - Surviving
