ME?
67 and had a complete hysterectomy 12 years ago.
Developed Vaginal Vault Prolapse gradually, but got very uncomfortable/painful last year because of an infection---possibly because I stopped using Vagifem, local estrogen pills and the vagina got dry.
I was VERY DEPRESSED. I couldn't stand . I couldn't walk. All I could do was swim.
Also I have a cystocele and a bit of a rectocele, but I can hold my bladder better than a lot of folks (judging by plane trips!!!)
Saw Gyno and Uro-gyn, and both were keen to operate.
No way!
Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me. I haven't been able to get in to see my doctor about this yet and i need some womanly feedback! I'm a 28 year old woman. I've never had children. A few years back a doctor told me my uterus had tipped but he said it was nothing to worry about. Last year, i was having pain during sex so i went to a woman's clinic for a pap. The doctor who performed it commented on my 'unusual anatomy'. According to her, everything was 'right there'. She said my uterus was pushing my cervix down but again, it was nothing to worry about.
After being diagnosed with minor rectocele (have not had kids yet but planning too in very near future), I have been doing some research on therapy's that may prevent any more damage prior, during and post babies. My Dr. mentioned using a special 'magnetic chair', this is a small blurb I found on google about it " The technology that makes this treatment possible is Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation, or ExMI™ for short. Cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June of 1998, ExMI is the first product to utilize ExMI.
Would like to know if anyone else who has gone through pre-menopause has experienced similar symptoms. I am 53 and have been bleeding for 2 weeks. It is light, but has not changed color, did become heavy like a normal period for several days, but has continued. Is this normal for pre-menopause? I am worried something is wrong. I haven't researched anything else on the internet or in books so if anyone can answer my questions I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
I am thinking of buying an exercise bike as I have become unfit since having to rest with this groin strain but 2 months on thankfully it is a bit better and I'm doing stretching exercises.Having seen Christine on her bike in the video I think it will be okay what do you think ? I have pop but think I will be okay
I have read some old posts about V-2 supports but I wonder whether there are any of those same people, or others, with any up dates of how they have done over the long time. I think my prolapse is my uterus which comes outside my body all the time. Would this support system help with that as I can't do anything while it is in that position only go and push it back in again but it comes back out within seconds.

A couple of days ago a friend of mine went to have her pessary inserted as it had fallen out 6months ago and she had had to wait all this time to get an appointment. The Dr. told her he had a new type to try which she said looks like a Mushroom shape. it has the dome cap and a long stem which is hollow and about 3½" long. The stem sits in your vagina. Has anyone else been fitted with this sort of Pessary and if so what do you think of it's difference from the regular round ring type. I guess this was a Milex make.

I have been searching and reading as many posts as I can for help with my coccyx pain.
It was getting to the point where I was considering pain relief which I have avoided for years even with other spinal issues.
i am really grateful for this site and christine's work. i do the exercises daily, and take walks, and use the realign myself into the posture whenever i become aware i fell out. this and healthy diet have all helped enormously - both psychologically and physically, but there are those difficult days . . . i found out about the v-2 support belt here, and i must share that is a great help. i suggest you buy your size based on hips not clothing size as some sites suggest. i bought a small at first & hated it - too tight, even tho it was the size recommended.
