Want to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse

I had a hysterectomy in 1997. I have no uterus. It was my bladder and vaginal wall protruding. The bladder will look and feel like a ball protruding out of you… depending in the stage you are at( 1 thru 4 ) .. the vaginal wall is like a flap of skin hanging down.
When my bladder got full it was difficult to pee… sometimes I had to push my bladder back inside me in order to empty my bladder.. oh what fun! The pessary was uncomfortable to me. For some it is the right thing, but was not for me. I like to avoid surgery if possible. .. so was hoping it would work for me.
A bladder emptying test was done before surgery was performed. That was not fun. It helped in diagnosing if I had stress incontinence. I do, but only if my bladder is very full and I sneeze, cough or bend over. The surgery helped with that.

I did see a urogynecologist and my diagnosis was stage 3 bladder prolapse. She prescribed physical therapy for my pelvic floor tension myalgia which she said could be causing my leg pain. We are going to do a pessary trial and if that doesn’t help, look at doing surgery. She said that surgery isn’t always 100%. A chance of recurrence or failure. We will have to see how PT and pessary work for me.
