Cystocele repair- 2 weeks post op. Bulging feeling.
Posted , 4 users are following.
Good Morning.
2 weeks I had a vaginal cystocele repair with posterior and anterior repair.
on day 10 I felt pretty good. I started to do light things around the house again. Exactly on day 14 I felt like I feel a little bulge again. I have a heavy feeling on my labia. Also when I go to urinate my stream has become thinner. There is definitely more pain again. I am supposed to get my period in the next two days and typically I do get A very heavy feeling for the first day. Has anyone else experienced this. I thought I was doing so much better since my recovery has been interesting. After surgery they had to put a catheter in me three times because I failed the voiding test. I went home with the catheter for five days. I did not expect to feel like this especially after I was feeling so much better. I am grateful for Anyone who shares their experience.

I had the same surgery, but also with a hysterectomy. Two weeks is still sooo early in your recovery. I would say you need to really force yourself to rest. I just laid on my couch for a good 3-4 weeks. Around week 6 was when I finally felt "ok," and now I'm week 10 post-op and if I stand too much at work, I start to get that heavy feeling, too. I've learned from others on here that it means you are doing too much. So I started teaching from a seated position and then felt better. I think it's probably fine but you need to really rest. For me, I didn't even SIT on my couch; I laid down just so there was no pressure whatsoever as I healed. I also went home with a catheter and had a similar experience initially. Good luck and take it easy!
