Want to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse
I am looking to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse that other ladies have experienced as well. I would also like to comment on incontinence as well. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to prolapse bladder etc and it seems to be a silent epidemic among women. If there are others out there like me, lets talk about it and I have some solutions. I am surviving prolapse bladder without surgery and I have been living with it for over ten years. I wear a support garment that is light and easy weight and fits right under my existing underwear. Don't know what you are doing or wearing, but I would like to hear from you. Thanks.

Had a bladder lift and partial hysterectomy in 2019 so far so good. Hope nothing changes. Wish all the best.
I will comment on this as I had surgery for a prolapsed bladder on Thursday. The surgery is called colpocleisis. It is sewing shut most of the vagina so the bladder cannot prodrude through it. It is a surgery mostly used by women who are not sexually active. After just two days I feel huge relief. I stayed in the hospital overnight but most people go home the following day. I have taken a pain pill last night and this morning. So far, very good!
Thank you for having our back.
My appt with a urogynecologist is march 20, 2023.
But after reading all the disaster stories, since I was a Mayo patient in 2019 I think if i decide to have surgery, i will go to the Mayo Clinic. Thank you, take care

What type of surgery was performed on the bladder?
Thank you
Very interesting.
I had a total hysterectomy 25 years ago. This is the first time i heard about this surgery. I will look into this. Take care
Thank you
How was your surgery for the prolapsed bladder st Mayo clinic?
How are you feeling?
Are you okay.
Were there any complication?
Who did the surgery.?
I have a prolapsed bladder, going to a urogynecologist on march 20, 2023.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you
My surgery went well! It was a little more involved than most people's so my advice would be to not wait as long as I did. I had issues with pressure on my tailbone during the 3 hour ride home which caused extra pain. All in all even though it took a little longer than most women, I am all healed up now and so happy with not having to rush to a bathroom anymore and no bulge!
Would definitely recommend the Mayo Clinic for this surgery.
Thank you for your kind words of advice. I have had too many surgeries.
All with problems.
Take care
So relieved to hear the surgery went well.
Can I ask who was the physician at Mayo?
Did he/she use a mesh?
What type of surgery procedure was performed?
Thank you
