Im having rectocele and cystocele repair in about 6 weeks. My consultant is sending me for a scan to check my ovaries he said he may have to do a vaginal hysterectomy which i dont really think i want or need. The first doctor i saw said my womb was fairly stable and in place. Got a grade 3 rectocele and grade 2 cystocele. I been so depressed by how my vagina looks and feels since my last child kinda feel broken and its not nice. Has anybody had sucessful surgery im terrified of being worse after or unable to have sex heard some scary stories

I have just had prolapse repair surgery 4 and a half weeks ago. Like any surgery there is always a risk! Just be sure your specialist is the best!! Are they going to suture or use mesh? Mesh can have alot of complications. I had tfs tape which is much less invasive and has far fewer complications associated with it. Sufficient time for recovery is the most important. I am still resting as much as possible. My job is a sitting one...but I can't sit comfortably for more than 2 hours yet! Its taking longer than I expected but I dont have kids at home and I work from home so I can rest when I need to. Everything is working better though and i dont feel like my insides are going to fall out when i go to the toot!! Why does your doc want to do a hysterectomy? Part of my problem stems from having a hysterectomy years ago and cutting one of the major supports for the pelvic sling. Just make sure you understand everything fully before you go in!
I know how you feel...

It doesn't mean it's going to happen to you. But I advice you to get all your questions answered and research done. Ask to speak to patients that your Dr. Has perform this procedure on. Best of blessings to you. God will guide you.

This is why i say.. ASK, RESEARCH, INVESTIGATE, DONT BE EMBARRASSED TO ASK WHAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. Maybe if we would've asked more my mother could've had other options as far as choosing maybe a different Doctor.
God bless
