Anyone had colpocleisis surgery? I want to learn more

Hi I'm new to this. I had a complete Colpocleisis vaginal closure surgery on April 24,2024. They shortened my vagina to only 1 inch (ok) put my bladder and rectum back in place (ok). Bleed for 19 days because I had a hematoma that dr would not acknowledge and said my bleeding was normal. Still on iron pills to build my RBC back up to normal range. I had a total prolapse of all my organs. As of today Oct 3, I have been having burning and pain when urinating. We have ruled out a UTI but the dr doesn't seem to want to do anything more for me. Any suggestions or what is life really like after doing this surgery??? Sorry for typos - CSueS

Hello @csues and welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm really sorry to hear of the post-surgery problems you are experiencing. It sounds like a visit to a new doctor might be helpful to you. I would recommend going to a multi-disciplinary medical center, for a second opinion, like Mayo Clinic (a link to appointment information for Mayo Clinic http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63) or a university medical school where you can see what can be done to help you.

Is there a multi-disciplinary medical center near you where you can obtain another opinion?
