Hi, I saw my consultant yesterday for my post op check, five months after my anterior and posterior repair. Now I'm a bit confused as I was convinced my prolapse was back. I've had that feeling of something coming down for a while and when I looked in a mirror there was quite a bulge. I saw my GP who said it was a stage 2 prolapse!  The consultant however said it all looks fine, just a little sagging down of the vagina. If she tightened it up anymore I wouldn't have a vagina left! So no prolapse after all but it certainly feels like it.  She prescribed vagifem pessaries to help strengthen the tissues inside for a few months and pelvic exercises which I'm doing anyway.

    Hi Jane,

    Hope you are now well recovered and hopefully pelvic floor exercises along with vagifem pessaries have helped you and you have not needed further ops.

    I am almost 13 weeks post op for A&P repairs, consultant gave me the OK to go and all healed last Monday. Back at work, I do 2 x5 hour shifts which include some weight bearing and some time on my feet.

    A bit worried about longterm effect of these issues at work as been told light duties only, but work gas nothing they can offer.

    This being my second repair have been told will have to be extra careful of down pressure on pelvic floor. Heard about vagifem pessaries and asked GP who has just prescribed it for me, wondered how you got on with them? Did they help strengthen your tissues? We're there any side effects?

    Would be gratefully for any info on this subject.

    Phyllis ☺
