So anxious surgery or no surgery
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm 57 years old and last October had my ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed (hysterectomy in 1997). I had never had any symptoms of prolapse-no heavy feeling, incontinence or bulging until one day in February this year when all of a sudden I had a large bulge. The surgeon from October told me I had a lot of scar tissue that she had to removeth and mesh in to keep organs apart. I think this was the start of my current condition-stage 3 prolapse of mostly bladder. I'm not a person who is afraid of surgery or a complainer but I am terrified of having surgery because of not knowing if I will feel worse or better after surgery. I realize many women have put up with this condition for years and I can't imagine. It is uncomfortable to sit, abdomen hurts and I don't want to do anything. One doctor said mesh is the best. I'm getting a second opinion on Thursday. I even took a friend to the first visit so she could take notes and ask questions I didn't think about. Has anyone had a good experience with surgery or even a pessary? I can't use estrogen cream because of a BRCA 2 gene mutation.
