Hello I am searching for advice after seeing a urogynecolgist she advised i need pelvic floor repair and possible cervix removal. However my colorectal surgeon disagrees and thinks i should wait and have bio feedback i have had numerous investigations MRI scan CT two sigmoidoscopies and recently a proctogram all carried out by colorectal surgeon. Who do I trust please help . I do not want to live with discomfort and pain any longer all scan show nothing wrong inside my bowels

The surgeon doesnt tell you that you dont need the surgery, just for you to wait for feedback, can you ask him if he,s denying that you need pelvic floor repair, and that is causing or adding to your symptoms. l think you need advice from a gp with some empathy, not one whos told you to live with it, any women lve spoke to with prolapse have surgery to repair it. Hope you can find a different gp who,ll show wome empathy and advice that benafits you. good luck

My GP was initially unsure whether to refer me to urogyn or colorectal. We went with urogyn and I have just had my pelvic floor repair. Wow, what a difference. I clearly have problems with the messages from my brain to my bowel (lifetime chronic constipation) but having been repaired I can now see how much of the issue (quite a lot) was caused by the rectocele.
Biofeedback might give you more info but won't change the fact that you need a pelvic floor repair. Just make sure they do both anterior and posterior.
Depending on the full extent of your symptoms you might still need biofeedback in the future (I'm thinking that might be my next step) but the repair has really made it clear what works and what doesn't.
Follow your instincts.
