Whole Woman Village Forum

One of the reasons I come to the Whole Woman forum often is because it helps me make my default reaction to my prolapsed organs one of peace and acceptance, minimizing stress.

In my opinion I've found a cancer thriver who has Whole Woman spirit through and through and I think part of a conversation she had with the founder of the Good Life Project might be helpful.

Anyone who is interested in encouragement in accepting where they are in their journey with prolapse can check this link out:

Any use for pop? Can WW exercises be done when pessary in place? Some bleeding and discharge noted - is this because of pessary? Been in place 12 days.

Can thrush make everything awful? I've just had a bout and feel like I've regressed by about 8 months. Freaking out a bit... Could this be ovulation?

Hi friends, first time i have read everybody's comments and views, learnt about V2 or hideaway, it might help me sometimes. If i walk for 10 minutes i feel heavy, do you think by wearing V2 might help? With prolapse problem, what kind of pants or capri i should wear and where i can find it? I will appreeciate any help i can get, thanks. About exercises i.e pelvic floor exercises, is it okay if i do 30 reps each exercise or i should stay with what christine does in her video. What is jiggling? can somebody explain to me? thanks

hi friends, today i went for reg. check up with my obgy. She said my bladder and uterus both are getting weaker and only option i have is hormone therapy or sergery, plus my vagina is very dry stays irritated all the the time and she prescribedOsphena, which will clear the dryness. She again recommened kegel exercises and wait till i am ready for surgery. I am just writing all this what opinions doctors have for the problem. Since she mentioned about hormone, does anybody know any herbal or natural hormone therapy.

What do I do if my sphincter muscles have been torn at childbirth? It has not been repaired and I am having problems with gas incontinence. I thought I could manage it through posture until I had diarrhea. It was horrible. I needed to wear a diaper. :( how can this be solved through posture if I feel like my anus is open? Would you recommend a sphincter repair for this? Thanks for any help.

Hi There,

I am currently 25 weeks pregnant with my second child and have suffered from bladder and rectal prolapse since 4 weeks after my first child's birth. I have been through the journey told often on this website - Doctor (diagnose), Specialists (told to keep health insurance as I would be back to see them after I finished with having children) and many many Womens health physio visits with no success or support at all besides being told it was a normal part of being a female and surgery would sort it out.

I first discovered the beginning of a prolapsed bladder about 18 mos. ago when I was 79. I have all my female organs. The first Gyn. I went to tried to help me with kegels, which did not work. The next Gyn. told me kegels did not work and spoke of possible surgery. I told him that I did not want surgery. I went to a Urologists because I have been fearing a bladder infection. My urine was clear, but he told me that I have a complete breakdown in the pelvic floor.

Hi everyone, I'm new here..

i have let this go on for a long time. After I had has an operation to correct a rectal prolapse 18 months later I thought it was back. I turned out that was ok,but I have a slight vaginal prolapse and a Rectocel now. Obviously I'm not looking for more surgery. I also got diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have just not been up to " sorting myself out" ,but would like to start trying now.
