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.

Please review and agree to the disclaimer and the forum rules. Our moderators will remove any posts that are promotional or otherwise fail to meet our guidelines and will block repeat offenders.
Remember, the forum is here for two reasons. First, to get your questions answered by other women who have knowledge and experience to share. Second, it is the place to share your results and successes. Your stories will help other women learn that Whole Woman is what they need.
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!

New to the site, severe uterine prolapse
Hi Mandy
Welcome to the site. Sorry to hear that you have severe uterine prolapse. It can't be nice to see your cervix when you want it to be safely tucked up inside you. Nevertheless, it is where it shouldn't be, and there are some things you can do to make yourself more comfortable and probably get it back inside you for most of the time.
You can't cure prolapse, but you can manage it in a way that it will affect your life much less than it is now, and you may be able to get it to stay up higher inside you. Many women have found that, after having their pelvic organs really low, we can use postural changes, seating changes, dietary changes, selective use of exercise and some simple clothing redesigns, to take the pressure off the pelvic organs, and enable them to sit over the pubic bone during normal stance and motion. The changes we have made have been beneficial to health in other ways as well.
You can find out about some of the changes you can make by visiting www.wholewoman.com, and linking to FAQ's, where there is a lot of information to get you started on your new knowledge. You will probably find that you notice that you are feeling better within a few days of starting with the amended posture, which may be enough to get you feeling more positive about the future.
Keep calling back with questions, and tell us about your progress, or even if you are feeling disappointed about lack of progress. YOu are in good company here, and will always find encouragement. There are many women who have trodden this road before you. Prolapse is certainly not the end of the world, nor the end of normal life. Hopefully you will be back to some semblance of normal activities pretty soon. Be prepared to work hard at changes in the way you do things, and be prepared for the odd setback, but bit by bit I am sure you will start to feel better, and you body will become a bit more cooperative.
Take care
Louise
