Prolapsed rectum: living with it versus surgery

@ejoy Thank you so much for replying. I have had a prolapse for 26 years and now it's giving me issues but am so afraid that if I get surgery things may be worse. How did you decide on a gyneurologist versus a colorectal surgeon? Anyway, I wish you complete healing and I hope and pray for you that at some point things are straightened out. I feel like I'm a strong person but when it comes to this, I'm not sure my psyche could handle going through surgery and having it come out worse. Thanks again for replying. I'm heading to Stanford for this defeaography MRI (sp) test on Friday. I guess I will see what comes from that. I've also at least decided to talk to a surgeon and see what they have to say about possible outcomes.

@cc510 Hi there! If I only need prolapse 2nd fix I will be using a colorectal surgeon. If I need my bladder fixed the urogynecologist will be in the operating room too. I would not have one or the other try to fix something not in their specialty.
