Hysterectomy 3 yeas ago , now prolapsed bladder.
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi , am new to this forum but just wanted to say abit about my story .
I underwent a vaginal hysterectomy in April 2013 due to a stage 3 prolapsed uterus , operation went well and the recovery wasn't too bad . In my leaving the hospital my consultant said that I had also had a slight bladder prolapse , he said that he had stitched it back into place , he said I also had a slight rectocele but he hadnt touched it as wasn't too bad . Anyway over the past few years I have felt the old familiar feelings , heaviness in lower area, back pain, pulling pains , running to the toilet every two mins .... Forgot to add I also got diagnosed win overactive bladder and sensitive bladder so put abit of the toilet trips to that. We all know when something isn't right , I could literally see a ball at the opening down here ( sorry tmi) and felt like I was having to keep pushing it back in . Sex life is non existent ... I don't get pleasure like I did before my hystectomy, so my relationship with the hubby is abit strained . I took a trip to my doctors who confirmed a prolapse , didn't have to do an internal as he could just see it there. Waited 3 weeks to go see gynocologist , who confirmed it was a stage 3 prolapse , she is lovely and really thorough.... Gave me a list of options . Wait a few years and then have surgery ( am 42 btw) but doesn't recommend as it is stage 3 already , use a peasant , again doesn't recommend because I have no womb am most probs would t hold in place anyway, have surgery with mesh to hold back in , told her there and then that wasn't any option for me , no way am I going near mesh !!! Too many horror stories, so I have opted for the operation putting it back in place with my own tissues ... She has also given me tablets for the bladder issues and estrogen cream to insert 2x a week leading up to surgery. Now just sitting right and waiting for my letter with a date for operation , sorry the post is long winded , not many ppl understand so wanted to join somewhere x
