Anyone had bladder, rectal and uterine prolapse surgery?

That is great news, harper7745 !

I have prolapse in all three, and my excellent (and candid) urogyn doctor said that only 2 of the 3 prolapses could be fixed in a single surgery.

Since my ring pessary works like a charm and I am happy with it (I remove it at night), I will only consider surgery if needed.

@sharnie hi, I'm new to this group. Just found out I have a stage 3 bladder prolapse and am waiting to be fitted with a pessary. Some Google results say that a lot of my fairly severe GI tract issues could be connected to this. Any experience with this?

I would like to avoid surgery for rectal prolapse. The earliest I can meet with the rectal colon surgeon is 3 1/2 months away.
anyone have any ideas.

Had sling for pelvic prolapse, rectocele and cystocele repaired and enterocele found during surgery and repaired. Now have prolonged Post Operative Urinary retention (2 months since surgery), upper extremity blood clot. Now recurrent continuous UTIs. Self cathing. Surgeon says if she loosens sling I will probably void urine. Currently on Eliquis for the clot so not a surgical candidate at this time. This has ruined my life.

I understand women’s choice to have the surgery or not. I, too, am concerned with the outcome. I have read a lot of posts on different websites, some women heal very well, do great with minimal pain but, other women suffer a lot of pain, take a long time to heal, and have long term and/or permanet side effects. Another big concern for me is the actual healing time, physical restrictions, mentally dealing with lying around and doing very little, and the restrictions on pain medication these days. And you better hope the prolapse repair ‘stays’ and you do not need another repeat surgery. That’s a lot for women to deal with when deciding to have a surgery.

Do your homework. Don't expect your basic baby doctor to help you with prolapse surgery. I was ignorant and stupidly made this mistake.
I then found a specialist who only does prolapse surgery repairs. I had prolapse of the vagina, bladder and minor issue with colon. The first doctor tied to tie up the prolapse to my thinned, aged tissue and they couldn't hold it. The specialist used the new mesh for support of the tissues and also a sling to straighten the urethra so the bladder could fully empty.
That was years ago and the results gave me back a normal life.
Yes you will be slowed down after surgery for a month, but that will pass.

@pamela43 I had a rectocele procedure and did very well with it. I had no issues with pain afterwards. Before the surgery I was using a device called a Femeze you can get on Amazon. It was great to help with supporting the vaginal wall promoting hygienic realignment of the bowel while passing stool.

@gardeningjunkie May I ask if your surgeon was a urogynacologist, or a skilled gynaecologist and where your procedure was done. My bladder repair sounds a lot like yours. Now I’m in constant pain, pretty sure my bladder repair has failed. I have not been offered surgery to fix it, just more medication, injections and pelvic therapy, which I know will not help. I am in need of a repair to hold everything up properly. 🤕

@lmprap
Christian Quintero, MD a Pelvic and Reconstructive Surgeon who did my surgery was based in Las Vegas NV. I see he is still practicing, but is now in Florida.
I had Pelvic Organ Prolapse which I have no doubt I aggravated from years of heavy rock collecting for my passionate landscaping interests.
I feared the mesh, not knowing if my highly allergic body would reject it. I had been previously tested, 5 Day Extended Patch Test for Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD and the material in this mesh fabric didn't raise concerns. Mesh prior to approximately 2015 and earlier did cause some women to have allergic reactions. I've had zero issues to this foreign material in my body.
I highly recommend going directly to a doctor that specializes in prolapse repair.
Dr. Quintero is a charming gentleman, very relaxed and confident who showed me on his computer the pictures of my prolapse and explained in detail how and where the repairs would be made, the material used and all other aspects. It did require one night stay in the hospital.
