After nearly 6 weeks post op (tomorrow) and multiple daily pelvic floor exercises i am doing really well. I don't sleep so great, i'm tired as a result, i'm abit down in general but putting that to having this type of surgery. 

However the last day or so i have noticed a bulging in my vagina when i sit on the loo. I wasn't expecting to feel any as i had a repair. Do you think this is normal or should i contact my consultant.cry

    Hi hun

    I'm 16 wks tvh and anterior repair. I have always feared this too because my first repair failed after 4 wks.

    No I am paranoid but have a wonderful consultant who I trust implicitly.

    I have been check and all is fine but I would definitely get checked over is my advice.. You may still have swelling as its still very early days..

    One word of advice,stop looking and feeling. What you are now will not be the finished article.. We will never be the same down there after any repair,it will look different.x

      I do trust my Consultant too, but i didn't expect to feel bulging like i previously did. I may just drop him an email and get his advice. I don't actively poke about but am a little worried now. It's horrible isn't it, what we have to do. 

      How are you feeling now ? would you say you are back to normal ? x

      Hi.  It’s been awhile since i joined this discussion.  Thank you Welshgirl67.  It will not be the same.  I am now on the 20th weeks (4mos) after surgery.  I’ve had panic/anxiety for a month and till now feeling tired and

      difficulty in sleeping.  Trying to do walking exercises daily per my gp.  I just hope and pray evetything will be fine snd more focus on

      good things.  Possitivity is the key.

    Hi Planebird. I have a radical LAVH 7 weeks ago because of a prolapse womb & Bladder. I would say if your bulging you have over done your exercises. I would seek medical advice ASAP. I would guess you could have undone the repair. Hope all will be well. Mandy.

    I really don't think you can undo repair by doing exercises at 6 wks.

    Before you worry please just get checked before worrying over nothing.I just wanted to say that.xx
