      the physio said if get to stage three or over they cant help me so i take it they would send me to surgery but i will be talking to her about the pesary thing until i get referred and then i know what will be going on just at the moment im left not knowing and to be honest they are kinda slow here in helping people not just me . but will just have to get on with it pain or not at moment its half two in morning and cant sleep throbbing pains and abdominal think they are just sore end of day as now walking is becoming so uncomfortable  . will just have to take one day at a time x

      Know exactly how you feel weesue, I was the exact same in the months leading up to my first repair and hysterectomy.

      It was so very painful and could barely function at all during the day. however was partially my own fault as I was initially not wanting surgery and really fearful of the future having read a lot of negative outcomes and was determined to try intensive physio first having pulled back up a very mild prolapse in the past. Just wouldn't accept that it was too far gone, and by the time I realized I had no choice but to go for surgery had to wait to see consultant again and then on the list for surgery.

      I think for many of us we do try to avoid surgery but then get to point where we have no life and then want that back before considering surgery.

      Don't understand how some health professionals can say that prolapse isn't painful, well seen there men!!

      Think I was 8 months from trying first pessary (6 months from second pessary), till I had surgery.

      While second pessary was better fit and worked for little while eventually prolapse was so bad pessary kept falling out and I was getting really irritated and sore with use.

      Having said that a lady iny work just now using pessary and has worked out very well for her, been u ding it for a number oh months now without any problems. So maybe works well if prolapse not to far advanced.

      Hope things improve soon,

      Healing hugs

      I understand now, yes physio wouldn't be any help to you however you should keep doing the pelvic floor exercises because it will hopefully help strengthen the surrounding muscles.

    There is also another website just for pelvic floor exercises for before during and after prolapse it has great information on what not to do as far as exercises and how to correctly do the exercises that help. The website is - pelvic exercises .com

    Hope you find relief and help you need.

      That website is mainly adverts and it isn't recognised by the Royal College of Gynaecologists. Advice regarding pelvic floor exercises following prolapse surgery should only be on the advice of the patients urogynaecologist.
