    I was hardly in any pain. Nurofen or paracetamol was enough for me. Bleeding lasted about a week but was very light.

    Took around 5 weeks to feel more like myself again.

    My issues have been very unusual over the past few weeks and no one can work out why. You have probably read the long post I had up about the vulva/vaginal entrance ulcers I developed.

    Please don't worry, I expect that lots of people sail through their operation and don't even come on here.

    I had a hysterectomy, vaginal suspension and rectocele surgery, all done robotically in the US. I expected pain, but surprisingly had none. I couldn't believe it. I took one pain pill for cramps on day 2. Now I know we are all different. I was one of the lucky ones. I know there are many on here with issues. My only issue has been bladder leakage after one month. Another surgery may be in order as they couldn't use mesh on me because of prednizone use for POLYMYALGIA rheumatica. I'm taking 5 mg. perhaps this helped me post op, I don't know. I'm hoping for an alternative to mesh. I see him next week.

    Hi I had a posterior repair done 22nd Dec..I didn't hardly have any pain just discomfort but it's easily controlled with pain killers..I didn't bleed at all so I was lucky..the biggest thing I found that it totally wears you out..just make sure you eat plenty of fibre to keep your bm good and soft lol and just make sure you don't pick anything heavy n plenty of rest.there is nothing to worry about you will be fine good luck 😊

    Welsh girl,  Don't be afraid of the pain.  I had very little, and after 9 weeks post op, my cystocele returned to a stage 3.  I would have rather had the pain, and not have to have it all done again soon.  Chose your doctor carefullyl. Be sure you have a urogynecologist.  I didn't,but will on my next repair in April.  Good luck
