Bladder Prolapse operation 5 weeks ago but very uncomfortable.

i think i always had the bladder prolapse but it now has space to fall forward. i think it was being held back by cystocele previously. will swelling go down and therefor move away from bladder prolapse.....perhaps.....?

hello

I know what your feeling. I had my anterior repair done along with tvh last year.

I have always felt not quite right like I had something there.

I have healed fabulous from my surgery with no pain or issues but I have a grade1 rectocele but no good consultant will touch it unless it causes bug problems with bowels and affect quality of life,hense why your consultant didn't touch it.

I find it hard to poo somedays so I take a natural fibre,but still need a glycerine suppositories to have easy bowel movements.

I am coping okay for now but will need my back wall done at some point but I feel I've had enough surgery over past 3 years.

I have a wonderful prof consultant who I'm always guided by,he knows what's right to do and even though it feels more than grade 1 I believe his diagnosis and will wait for time being.

I'm guessing if yiu had issues before the OP that yiur consultant knew about he may of brought it to your attention.

because I never mentioned the feeling till after my post op that us when he thoroughly examined and measured the back wall for weakness. this is very common after repairs as each surgery leaves a weakness else where and that's why we must strengthen our pelvuc floor for life or no surgery will ever last for long.

chin up and please bring it up at your appointment.. we know when things feel wrong and affect us. if it was for my suppositories I'd have big problems.

oh and another bit if advuce for you is never ever strain to poo or yiur repair will weaken a lot.

good luck hunxx

thankyou so much for getting back to me. im at my wits end and am struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. everytime i stand up the fullness feeling and dragging is just getting me down. so uncomfortable. i guess its early days. not much pain to talk about which is great just a rubbing feeling and aches. i think i thought i would feel relief from the fullness and heaviness after surgery. i was concerned it hadnt worked but my gp has asured me it has.....just need to contact my surgeon. when i was leaving hospital she said i wouldnt need a followup apt......but im going to ask for one. shes onholiday till the 10th june so cannot talk to her before then which is adding to my anxiety and panic attacks about all of this. i am generally a coper in life....all new ground for me. but thanks again for your support n reply.

hey welshgirl.....me again. i guess ur right about the recocele as my surgeon did know about it and i have tobe secure in the fact that if she thought it was bad enough she would have done it at the time. we did have a discussion about this. if it wasnt for the fact that my gp ...at an apt this week said....its a shame they didnt do the recocele and thats whats causing the discomfort pushing on cystocele wound. argh.....she planted a seed. investigating it im hoping that the scar will reduce over time so that they arent touching anymore in the opening of my vagina.....week 6 and doing loads of kegils.......and getting through NETFLIX ......
