Tmi But I'm Terrified
Posted: 11-06-07 14:23pm

i was debating whether to post this on here as it's really personal but i see you girls as my friends and quite frankly i'm terrified

yesterday i was trying to go poopy and couldn't. i though nothing of it and washed my hands then tried to check my cervix and cervical muscous (cause we're ttc) well when i put a finger up there the back wall was rock hard and bulging Shocked

i was scared so i checked on the internet (i know, i know) and i have quite alot of the symtoms of a prolapse. now i believe it to be a rectal prolapse but i am sooooo scared.

i have an appointment to see the doctor at 10.30am tomorrow morning and i'm worried what they going to say.

replies would be appreciated. Crying
or Very sad

Maybe what you are feeling in there is your poop. You said you were not able to go and if you were constipated it would affect how you felt down there. This is going to sound awful, but when I was pregnant with Jaylon I would get constipated so bad. It hurt like hell. The only thing that would help me go naturally was sex. It pushed the poo out of there. TMI!!!! LOL Smile

Good luck

You know, I just did a quick look at what rectal prolapse consists of and feeling something hard on the backwall of your vagina doesn't seem to be a symptom. Are you having other symptoms other than not being able to 'go'? Like long term symptoms, etc?

Rectal Prolapse Symptoms

The symptoms of a prolapsed rectum are similar to those of hemorrhoids; however, rectal prolapse originates higher in the body than hemorrhoids do. A person with a prolapsed rectum may feel tissue protruding from the anus and experience the following symptoms:


Pain during bowel movements


Mucus or blood discharge from the protruding tissue


Fecal incontinence (inability to control bowel movements)


Loss of urge to defecate (mostly with larger prolapses)


Awareness of something protruding upon wiping


Early in the development of a prolapsed rectum, the protrusion may occur during bowel movements and retract afterwards. The protrusion may become more frequent and appear when the person sneezes or coughs. Eventually, the protruding rectum may need to be manually replaced or may continually protrude.


People with internal intussusception, in which the rectum is displaced but does not protrude from the body, often experience difficulty with bowel movements and a sense of incomplete bowel movements.

Signs and symptoms
In mild cases — when a rectocele is small — it's possible for you to not even notice the bulge. When signs or symptoms do present themselves, they may include:

A soft bulge of tissue in your vagina that may or may not protrude through the vaginal opening
Constipation or difficulty having a bowel movement
Sensation of rectal pressure or fullness
A feeling that the rectum has not completely emptied after a bowel movement
Difficulty controlling the passage of stool
Low back pain that's relieved when you lie down

Sounds like constipation to me too. If your really full (of poo) you would have the exact symptoms you described.

If you haven't pooped, then the stool is right behind your vaginal wall and your rectum. You may want to try drinking some prune juice. Smile

I suffer from constipation every now and again, and the back ache can be severe. One time i had to go to the hospital. They prescribed Tylenol 3's.
