Anyone Else With Prolapse? Posted: 10-06-05 20:24pm
Hello, I am a 25 year old mother of two,
it's my first time posting on here, so
hello to everyone. :) I was just hoping
to get information from any other women
out there who are suffering from uterine
or other type of prolapse. I had my son
at 17, a vaginal delivery, and he was a
rather large baby, which my doctor said
led to my uterine prolapse. I had one
surgery a year after his birth which was
supposed to have corrected it
(laproscopic) but 6 years later after
becoming pregnant with my daughter, the
prolapse returned and was much more
severe. (for the first 4 months of my
pregnancy my cervix was protruding from my
vagina, then the uterus became large
enough to be supported by my pelvis and
the prolapse went away) after giving
birth to her, (she was also a large baby,
larger than my son, also a vaginal
delivery) the prolapse seemed gone, but
after having a severe cough for the past
few weeks due to a bad cold, I am feeling
that same pressure and feeling of fullness
"down there." my cervix seems to be far
enough up, but part of my vaginal wall is
bulging out and partially protruding, and
I have been wondering if something else is
now prolapsing, perhaps a rectocele?
Because I do have some of the symptoms of
that, such as the bulging of the vaginal
wall and difficulty completing bms. It
is just so depressing to be having these
problems at such a young age!!! The last
time I was seen by a specialist for this
(the surgeon who performed my first
surgery) I was told I would eventually
need another surgery and probably a
hysterectomy, therefore he thought I
should wait until I am done with my
childbearing years. Well, I am thinking
I pretty much have to be considering this
problem. I am very depressed and scared.
I was just hoping to get some input from
others who have similar issues or possibly
advice!!! Thanks for reading if you got
this far!!
