Pain and swelling at 8 weeks post op?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I had an anterior and posterior repair 8 weeks and 3 days ago. Over the past couple of days I have had the thick sticky swollen feeling inside again which had been away for a couple of weeks , my back has also been really hurting.
I have done more than I have been due to it being Christmas by I haven't been lifting anything heavy. I know you shouldn't look but I can't help it and the bulge ( swelling ) at my bladder side is still there. Is this normal?
I'm due back at work in 2 weeks time, if I am still swelling up now with only slightly more activity what will it be like when I'm at work for hours.
I am so worried this repair hasn't worked or that I do anything to damage it , my consultant only does a follow up phone call at 12 weeks but due to Xmas it's going to be 16 weeks before I speak to him , just looking for any experiences or advice from anyone , thank you xx

Hi Christine. Surprised you've not had more feedback on this subject. A rectocele is a prolapse of the rectumthe vagina. Cystocele is prolapse of the bladder into the vagina. You can also have a uterine/womb prolapse and enterocele, a bit higher up than a rectocele, four different types prolapse, there may be more, not sure about that. All need different types of surgery performed by a urogynaecologist. (UK)
