6months post op and still worried
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi ladies, I would like to ask you some questions if you don't mind... I'm 47, 6 months post anterior repair and hysterectomy and in the waiting list for rectocele repair. I have had ups and downs with my recovery but mostly well, I am doing PF exercises with my physio. I have had 2 wonderful weeks I have felt very very well, pain just couple of days because of intestinal gas and no buldge feeling at all... I have felt so well that I forgot I had a surgery and thought wooowww at last I feel great! No heaviness, no buldge feeling...it is amazing how the non-prolapse feeling can boost such happiness...
But suddenly since yesterday morning, I have been feeling again like I have something inside and like I am prolapsed again. It's a feeling only, yesterday I touched inside and the bladder was still lifted. But touching from inside through the way out to the vagina, I touched almost at the entrance, on the border with the exterior, some stitches, and I could tell that some tissue is almost protruding a little bit outside, it's very small piece of vaginal tissue, I would swear that it is normal in a vagina to have like a very small ball of tissue around the hole, but you know this surgery gets us insane and now I don't even know what it is normal... I think I'm confused... My physio has said nothing about that and he sees me every week...
Well, my last question is: is it normal at 6 months after ant repair still feel like this? I asked my dr in my last check and he says everything goes well. He will remove the stitches I still have in the next rectocele surgery.
Sometimes I think...how Will I be in a year?.. Will I ever get rid of this prolapse feeling? Some days I'm so fed up of this...Sorry ladies, I'm a bit sad today... Thanks for listening 😔

It's good to have a second opinion, hope the new doctor can clarify if you need the uplifting of your bladder. Thanks for your help
Hugs honey 😘

I am so pleased that everything has went so well and no more prolapse is actually there! It is so good to feel free of that and not be in any pain.
Try not to worry about protruding tissue, I'm sure you will be fine, the feeling of something as if prolapse there again is probably as you felt the small piece of tissue. If you are not in pain and have no other symptoms it is most probably nothing to worry about. 3 weeks is a long time to be worrying.
I am sure that you are right that if anything there to worry about your physio would have noticed, maybe last of stitches causing the little ball of tissue that may disappear once stitches are gone.
Let us know how you get on at doctors, look after yourself and enjoy the time you have before you go for your rectocele surgery.
