Most women don't know that pelvic organ prolapse exists until they become symptomatic.  If you have prolapse and have been told you need surgery, you are not alone.  Pelvic organ prolapse is the most pervasive women's health issue in the developed world affecting over 50% of women in their lifetimes. < br  />Most importantly, if you have been diagnosed with cystocele, rectocele or uterine prolapse, you need to educate yourself.  Surgeries for prolapse are fraught with risks and rarely provide long term resolution.    But prolapse can be successfully managed for a lifetime without dangerous surgery.Christine Kent, author of the definitive book on the subject, Saving the Whole Woman, explains the anatomy of prolapse clearly and understandably.  She demonstrates the prolapse is actually a postural problem, due to the flattening of the lumbar (lower back) curve as women get older.  With prolapse, our organs don't fall down, they fall back.  By restoring natural female posture, the organs can be brought back to the front of the lower abdominal wall over the pubic bone, where they belong.Prolapse is now epidemic in the post partum population and is easily managed by new mommies with proper posture.In First Aid for Prolapse, Christine clearly illustrates the natural female posture, and provides a comprehensive exercise program to help strengthen the musculature you need to support the Whole Woman Posture.  First Aid for Prolapse has helped thousands of women around the world avoid often life-shattering surgery, restore their natural strength, flexibility and grace, and successfully manage prolapse for a lifetime.
