@traveling - How are you since your 2nd repair? I will be 80 in 2 months and have a lot of other health issues too numerous to list but include Crohns, vaginal and urethral atrophy and prone to UTI's. Do you think I would survive the surgery you had as the urologist had told me never to sit in a bath, sitz bath or otherwise and I read you are told to use a sitz bath a couple of times a day. I am also allergic to all antibiotics except the ceclor and leviquin families. How long is the recovery? How in the world are you able to keep your BM at just the correct consistency - not too soft and not too hard? With my IBS/IBD I'm back and forth constantly now. Would like your secret on that one.I Also, since the prolapse has given me fecal incontinence I hav heard that the surgery can make you permanently incontinenct and I am trying with the help of PT to overcome that. I have no idea if PT works either.

Hope you are OK now and please post how you are.and how the recovery went. thank you.
