hello ladies new and old..

I had my tvh and repeat anterior Jan 2018 which went smoothly and no issues apart from leaving me paranoid lol.

fast forward to now and I have a grade 1 rectocele with a small inside bulge the size of a popcorn grrrrrrrr.

apparently my consultant didn't touch ut during the surgery as I wasnt really having a massive problem and I believe they dont like to fo all 3 together due to leaving us too small for intercourse.

I'm so upset because I would of taken a risk knowing he is a professor than have to go through poo issues and may be another repair.

has anyone had a back wall done on it's own and how was the recovery pain wise?

I had no pain with my first anterior and only mild cramps after my tvh.

what would you ladies do.. leave it and do loads of kegals or opt to get ut done now while I'm still youngish 51 lol.

I take movicol and glycerine supps to poo if I need too and never strain. I wished I had a caesarian 23 yrs ago with my 2 babies,may be wouldn't be suffering now . it all starting weaken at age 42😥

thankyou ladies and take care of yourselves. x

    I didn't have any scans at all. Went to see gynae and had it done about three weeks later, it was through Bupa though.

      hi Laura

      yes I thought that.nit heard about scans only a defecation one where you have to poo and they xray the bowel to check how it functions.

      I know what's wrong with mine lol just needs supporting up again lol. I may luve with it fir a while but it does get me right downhearted to ssy the least.

      these repairs are very complex indeed. hense why I opted for my professor Urogynacologist, I will only listen to him and he has the last word lol.x

    hi ,it can be done either way , vagina is less painful and i think it has better sucess rates ,at least with gynae you are on a ward with women only , i think they choose the best option for the problem , they advised me on the best treatment then it was up to me to say if i wanted surgery , there is always a risk attached with any ooeration ,i would definately recommend it as no more bowel priblems xx

      I will be guided by my professor Urogynacologist as he knows more than me lol.

      I'll manage with movicol for now.
