Can prolapse bladder surgery be done through the vagina so cutting is not necessary?
Posted , 12 users are following.
I have heard about a gynaecologist in the Plymouth area who did prolapse operations via the vagina so cutting was not nessary. However apparently this was a few a years ago. Is this method done by other UK specialsts? Also for those who have had the surgery did they have the full anaestetic or an epidural? Thank you.

It's normally performed vaginally tricia and any good urogynaecologist would do it that way however some of the "old school" gynaecologists may not.

Typical symptoms Christine. I'm sure you will still be alive and kicking by March! I've had to wait for similar op for several months, I had a cystocele, double salpingo oophrectomy in April so wasn't feeling up to a rectocele repair just yet. I go in Feb 17. You can find more info if you look at the top of this page, Genito Urinary Prolapse. You might like to try stool softeners or lactulose for constipation as this can cause pain in my case! It's important to keep things 'moving'!

Hi carole you're absolutely right about the benefits of a spinal surgery in relation to tiredness. There's still a lot of surgery not performed under a spinal and it's not because the urogynaecologists don't opt for it but it's all down to the anaesthetist and the patient of course. In my health trust it's being offered but ladies are still opting for a GA. The other cause of tiredness though is the pain relief we are prescribed because that can have the same effect. It's good to read your recovery was a good one though.
