Im 23 years old and due to have my third (and last)child in 3 weeks. Im so very angry and disappointed with every physician I have come in contact with since the birth of my first child. My previous deliveries were both vaginal and this one will be as well. I havent felt normal vaginally since giving birth to my first child, and have often felt that I have a rectocele, although I have a very difficult time getting any Dr. To take me seriously. I am repeatedly told that there is no prolapse present(although I have seen it with my own eyes with a handheld mirror) and that this is an "older ladies' problem". Im so pissed and insulted. Im a nurse and am quite aware of the anatomy and structure of the female vagina, especially my own. I just dont know what to do, im at my wits end! Sometimes I feel so depressed and ashamed. I tried to talk my Dr. Into doing an elective c.S. On me, but he refuses. I have every single symptom of rectocele, including having to perform manual evacuation with a b.M. And a constant feeling of something falling out of my vagina. This is all very humuliating to a 23 year old and really, a death sentence for my self-esteem, dignity, and sex life with my husband. Im going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life, and I cant find a decent Dr. Who will even try to help me. Does anyone have any advice?
