Prolapsed bladder post op
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi, my name is Patti and I am new to this group. I am 48yrs old and had surgery for my prolapsed bladder 12 days ago. Things have been going okay. Have had pain, drainage ect. Yesterday however, I started to have intense burning in my vaginal opening and swelling. Is this normal? I'm really concerned and scared. It's the weekend and am not sure if this is something to alarm the dr about or not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ice is always my go to for any type of Pain or swelling. I made some little ice pops for my bum after surgery and they were amazing. I used the single, very small popsicles put into a zip lock baggie, then put a condon on and put it up my bum. Sounds bad but it helped so much. You may not be able to put anything in your vaginal cavity so try cutting a sponge in thirds. Soak 1/3 in water. Squeeze out enough so that it is not dripping, Put it into a zio lock bag then freeze it and just put it on the outside. You may need to wrap it in a paper towel if it is too cold, but it won't drip so much because t is a sponge.
I hope that helps. Also please please don't do too much getting up and down or bending. Just try to keep your feet up as much as possible.
