Anyone had urethrocele?

I'm 3 weeks post anterior posterior repair of cystocele/rectocele. stopped bleeding after 1.5 weeks. saw my surgeon at 2 weeks. All is well. Began to bleed again right after the appointment and continue one week later. I finally got the courage to look with a mirror and saw what I believe is a urethrocele. The research I've done suggests an anterior repair as a fix not having the urethrocele as a result of the repair. Could what I'm seeing be something else? I've about had it with all this. I'm 70 and my surgeon told me recovery would be about 2 weeks and would feel like after I had a baby. He does not know what he's talking about. I don't see him for another week. Thanks in advance for any insight.

    As you havent posted any pics it would be impossible for anyone to hazard a guess at what you can see. However, you are right about one thing......Recovery is much longer than 2 weeks and most ladies who have had any sort of procedure like this would say give yourself at least 2 months to recover and 3 months is the ideal. Rest, rest, rest is what you need. No lifting ,no standing for too long, not too much housework of any kind.Be kind to yourself...you're worth it. If you have a partner/husband make sure he knows you need help and if any friends offer help then take it.Dont try to be Wonder Woman.
