Two weeks after anterior/posterior vaginal prolapse surgery, scared bladder has prolapsed?

Hi lyn,

Try not to worry its early days yet it takes a few months to properly heal and you will be swollen for 2-3 months until stitches heal. Deeper tissues may take even longer.

The painkillers don't help with constipation; have you tried a squatty potty to enable ease of bowel evacuation.

Take care and don't be overdoing things thus is major surgery and needs plenty rest.

If you go to the home page of genitourinary forum and scroll down to usefull resources, then to south tees you will find some great after surgery advice.

They usually judge if repair has been successful once successful intercourse has resumed.

Good luck and be very careful.

Hi, I think many of us have experienced constipation in the first few days following surgery and equally many have also been concerned that this and or any bulges they think they see, discomfort etc may mean the prolapse has returned so you are not alone in fearing this. Lots of us have been there. I am not medically qualified at all, but I am now 8 weeks post op and thought that my prolapses had returned in the first few weeks and can see some lumps. However, what I can see is actually the scar tissue and normal walls of the vaginal canal...... A lot of other women often can see lumpy bits where the tissues have been cut and stitched together, and this and the swelling is all part of the healing process which can take a long time. My lady bits are still healing at 8 weeks and I need to have another check up at 12 weeks. I hope you are reassured, but of course do get in touch with your doctor if you are concerned rather than wait until your next check up if that is some weeks away. Do take it easy and try some of the suggestions for softening the poo. Good luck.

Thank you ladies, so much for the information and encouragement.  I will take it slow and easy, take the softeners and ask the doctor when I see him.  This site is so helpful when you feel alone.
