 NOTE:  Thank you Astrid Tuttle Winegar for this informative, serious, amusing, well-written guest post!  To read more from Astrid when you get to the bottom of this great article there is information on her books and her bio!  We women are indebted to those who step up and inform on female medical issues no one wants to mention.  We need help with this topic and it takes a brave woman to come forward. Part 1: A Brief History of the Before Times. Once upon a time, I was blissfully ignorant about the condition known as PROLAPSE (and as I write this, apparently Microsoft Word is also blissfully ignorant about the spelling of this word, so I’ll add it to my dictionary now). I did my work outs, my dancing around, my sleeping around. Then I stopped when I got married at 25. My first child was born when I was 27; my second, at 29. I had a miscarriage in between.                 When I went in for the post-partum examination after my last birth, the OB-GYN mentioned I might have a bit of

 Vaginal Prolapse | Colpocleisis Lefort Surgery: A Personal Story - Paperback Now Available Pre-teen us:  "What is going to come out of where every month?!!!" "Yes! But, only for about 40 years." "What is going to go in where? Really to make a baby" "What??? The baby is going to come out of where???" So, thousands of diaper changes later, thousands of dirty dishes, thousands of meals prepared and millions of days of cleaning and  then the whole structure collapses and we are left trying to figure out what to do about it.  No one told us this part.

                                                            Now available on Kindle Books.   Vaginal prolapse is a painful, embarrassing condition which adversely affects the lives of countless women. It is usually a secret women do not share with anyone except their partner or doctor. Many of us feel ashamed to admit it has happened to such an intimate part of our bodies. One reason is we don't want anyone picturing the bulge it makes. Another is since most women say no one ever told them this was a possibility we have no idea who else in our circle has dealt with it and if so, how?  After interacting with a supportive group of women on Facebook, I decided to tell my personal story of vaginal vault prolapse surgery and recovery. This private group helps others by telling their stories of misery, surgeries and triumphs. The details of living with prolapse should not be kept secret, but shared with younger women to help them and prevent it happening to them.  There are some preventi

 I am in the process of writing a book about my personal experience with vaginal prolapse.  When it is published within the next few months I will make it available here.  There will be sections of the book posted. For now my advice for anyone experiencing vaginal prolapse: there are some great groups on Facebook with women willing to give support, help and advice.  Just browse your condition and see the groups pop up. I had surgery on October 7, 2022 and am totally satisfied with the result.  I feel better than I have in years and you can, too.  I started writing the book a week after surgery.  It is being edited and set up to print on Amazon Large Print Paperback and Kindle.   This will be the only post until the book is ready.  Feel free to write comments and questions.  I will monitor the site daily and offer whatever advice I can. Thanks for reading. Judith Cutler
