You can do a yahoo or google search on
prolapsed bladder and find good
information. Your grandmother may have
already talked to her Dr. About her
prolapse....Whether it is falling outside
her vagina which would indicate that she
would need surgery to tack it back in
place. There is also a device that can
be placed inside her to hold it back in
but she would have more hygiene problems
with that. Her Dr. Will help her make
a decision.

Reconsider Surgery! Posted: 08-24-05 18:46pm
Hi
please re-consider any invasive surgery.
I was so unbelievably relieved I didn't do
so after reading the shocking stories in
"misinformed consent" by lise
cloutier-steele.
Another very important book to read is
"saving the whole woman" by christine kent
who has a great website called first aid
for prolapse (i think).
There is a very good chance of horrendous
side effects form these surgeries and also
of subsequent prolapses as for example,
the removal of one organ removes scaffolds
for the others, in the case of removal of
hte uterus.
Think about yoga, acupuncture,herbs and
biofeedback with good well trained people
and inform yourself with those great books
if you can
good luck

"please re-consider any invasive surgery"
there isn't any removal of organs during
this procedure, they just tack the
bladder back into position with a few
stitches. My grandmother had this done
and it's helped her immensely. Her
bladder had been falling out of her body
for years. She had the surgery to retack
her bladder when she was in her late 80's
or early 90's. She will be 104 this year
and still no problems.

I am 61 yesrs of age just had surgury and
I am doing well
my surgury was done aug. 28, 06. It is
now september 15 and I am back to doing
most activities . However I am a very
active women. I am used to being on the
go for 14 to 16 hours a day. I am now on
my feet maby half of that time per day. I
did experience light bleeding in the first
4 to 5 days after surgury probably from
trying to do too much too soon. My doctor
says this is normal however. I highly
recommend surgury. Lizbell
