Q: prolapse bladder surgery

Hi, I am wondering if anyone on here has had surgery for prolapsed bladder. I am 38 years old and have had this since giving birth to my third baby. I just had surgery , which was fine but I still don't feel as if things down there are 'normal'...it has been 5 weeks since my surgery and it still feels as if things are sagging down . I wonder whether it is the stitches (which still havent dissolved) that make me feel uncomfortable still?

I am waiting for an appointment with my consultant. I went to my gp but he wasn't of much help.

I so hope that it has worked. I used a pessary before the op, and I hated using it, didn't make me feel very good about myself. I really don't want a hysterectomy. I have three children and probably won't have anymore but it feels to final at the moment to have my womb taken away...

Has anyone had surgery and still felt 'not right' is this normal?

Thanks

prolapse bladder surgery

Hi, I am 51 and I just had a total LAVH and A&P Bladder Repair Sling on Sept 30. The only problem I am having is pain when I urinate. My Urologist thought I may have had a urinary tract infection, but I finished up my meds yesterday and it still hurts. I thought I would give it 1 more week and see if the sling might self adjust.

Be happy with what you have accomplished...Many people do not have the positive results that you are having...This is a rough surgery and yours is a story that many women will find encouraging...Take care and keep on getting well...
