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.

rectal prolapse
Hello and welcome, ChevyGoal,
It seems to be true that women who birth vaginally tend to develop “garden variety” vaginal prolapse - usually cystocele/rectocele with the cervix held above.
Our women who are very young or who have never given birth often have problems in the back passage - rectocele, uterine prolapse, or rectal prolapse.
Of course I have no way of knowing, but it certainly sounds like you are describing anorectal prolapse in addition to uterine prolapse. The bladder is connected to the uterus at the level of the cervix, so of course it is being pulled toward the back as well.
There really is only one reasonable thing to be done, and that is to move your organs forward naturally, which we do with the WW work. Your pelvic organs have not fallen down, they’ve been blown back from their normal positions at the front of the body.
First Aid for Prolapse is our most comprehensive program, and we are working to finish another module to that course, which includes several additional exercises. The addition will be automatically added to all purchased FAFP courses.
The WWYoga series would also be a good place to start, or at least WW Fundamentals to get you on your WW way. WW Fundamentals will show you how and why you must change your toilet habits now.
There is no surgical cure for this, and you certainly don’t want to let the condition progress to a point where the rectal lining bulges out like a tennis ball - or worse.
You are quite young for such severe symptoms and one has to wonder about the health of your connective tissue. A very good, anti-inflammatory diet is one of the pillars of this work.
Please know all the symptoms you describe are extremely common and can be successfully alleviated, probably in a relatively short period of time in someone your age. However, only you can do the work of understanding the problem, and then working toward resolution.
Wishing you well!
Christine
