Anyone had bladder, rectal and uterine prolapse surgery?

Has anyone had surgery for bladder prolapse, rectal prolapse or uterine prolapse, or all of them. How was the outcome, recovery, etc.
Thank you. Louise Harper

@ayleswc914
I am 73 and my prolapsed uterus totally covers my vagina and my urethra so I can never fully empty my bladder except when I first wake up when my prolapse is soft and I can push it inside past the bone. Then I hold it in and head to the loo. As soon as sit down, the urine I was holding all night and yesterday afternoon gushes out. I can only dribble and leak during the day and it runs down my leg. I have pain and pressure when my bladder is full until I push it inside of me and stand over the toilet or sit on it. I have an appt with a urogyno Wednesday and I hope he will agree I have to have this surgery because the previous 5 said to have a hysterectomy. I only want the one you had. Also have now a rectal prolapse. This is too difficult.

@flemyng I only want the LeForte and I don't know how to convince the new urogyno. I hope he sees my issues and agrees.

Had rectal prolapse surgery in May. Excellent surgeon--no problems. Waiting for digestive system to adjust to new plumbing arrangement; otherwise all is well.

Hello @pdlane35

I'm glad to hear that all is going well since your surgery. I see that your digestive system is adjusting to the new plumbing arrangement. Perhaps it would be helpful to you to participate in a Connect discussion group, "How Do I Eat After Digestive Tract Surgery?"' Here is a link to that discussion: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-do-i-eat-after-digestive-tract-surgery/

What problems are the most troublesome for you since the surgery?
