I think I've prolapsed but I dont know what to do. I'm 23 with 2 kids. I had my kids on June 2017 and December 2018. things got bad like this after my second baby and have just been getting worse. sex is incredibly painful. the pain reminds me of post partum pain. my midwife told me both times after giving birth that nothing was wrong with me and that vaginas just chance after giving birth. but I know it should not be like this. I have no insurance right now and dont know what to do. it's to the point touching it hurts.image

    it looks like a prolapse, maybe even two but i cant tell because its blurry. i'll tell you, i'm 23 as well, just have a 19 month old daughter -- and i suffered two prolapses as well. i've still yet to see a doctor, ive had pap smears since giving birth but was never told anything was wrong, i discovered this one day when someone told me on here i had this. it was devastating as f**k at first, i was depressed as hell. but my boyfriends been so helpful, &' luckily i dont have many symptoms other than a dragging feeling occasionally. i feel for you girl... ive been dealing with this too

      so far my only symptom other than just feeling full down there is very painful sex.my husband has been very understanding but I miss sex alot and i know he does too. i do seem to be getting quite a few UTIs though. but yeah I've had pap smears since giving birth and no one has told me anything was wrong. when I tell them it hurts to have sex i just get told to use more lube. its frustrating. I wont even let my husband look at it anymore because I know how bad it looks. but I'm determined to find a doctor to help.

    are you peeing on yourself when you cough sneeze, or laugh? those were my main signs. if you think you have prolapse, see your obgyn and ask. do you qualify for HIP plus insurance? it's kind of like Medicaid I think. that paid for my surgery. I was quoted like 6k out of pocket for surgery with the laser. then my obgyn got it approved thru my insurance. I actually got my labia reduced during the surgery for free! so everything is symmetrical, tighter, and I'm not having problems going to the bathroom. no more cramps/pain from the prolapse either. I'm in Indianapolis. my doctor is Michelle Murphy at community health network

      I do a little but was told that's just a consequence of giving birth so I didnt think anything about it. I dont know what HIP is. I'm in texas but as soon as I can, I'm going to the doctor. I'm hoping to avoid surgery because I cant take time off for it.

      painful sex, incontinence issues, struggling to push a bowel movement are all symptoms. I'm not familiar with TX insurance but it's income based insurance. Like if you're unemployed or make less than what they require, you can get this insurance free or for like a few bucks a month. it covers the surgery for sure. I was back to work in a week or 2.

    hi

    its looks very much like a front and back prolapse. if you can visit your doctor and have them refere yiu to a Urogynacologist .

    this has been caused by childbirth although yiur very young it is very common after vaginal births.

    if you want more children they will nor repair it till after you have completed your family .
