I am very pleased that you recovered so quickly. This wasn't my experience as above at the 8 week check with Consultant, she trimmed a stitch which was sticking into me, said it won't bleed. By the time I got home I was bleeding. That was 2 weeks ago. Now at 10 weeks, I still have stitches and some discomfort and burning, I would love a glass of wine but that seems to make everything worse. The Consultant said to use Oveston cream, which I use with my finger. I can't wait to get to 12 weeks when hopefully everything will feel fine. I think perhaps anyone having this operation should be very careful choosing their surgeon.

I have been very encouraged reading about the outcome of everyone’s Colpocleisis surgery. I had my surgery on January 31, 2024. I am in my ninth week of recovery. One night stay in the hospital & came home with a catheter for about a week after. I also had very little pain. The most concerning part for me was making sure to take the stool softeners as prescribed so as not break the stitches by straining. I am 86 years old and so happy I decided to have the surgery. Being up and about & getting back to my normal life feels wonderful. I hope this will help someone who may be contemplating having this surgery.
Blessings!
