Anyone had colpocleisis surgery? I want to learn more

@landersson0519 I am so grateful for your comment because it sounds like you had fairly early onset of POP (as have I) and the complications and recurrence you've had are precisely why even at my age (46) I feel like I have to consider colpocleisis seriously.

If I were at your stage of life I would do it in a heartbeat! It is a much less invasive surgery and it has fewer complications from what I've read. I tried to post some links that have been helpful to me as I've been researching but wasn't allowed to because I'm new to the forum, but the moderator shared them for me in a subsequent comment (which I also can't link to, sorry!). In any case, they may be helpful for you as you consider the surgery.

Thank your for your quick response. From what I have read, some women have a lot of pain with their prolapse. The only pain I have had for years, is low back pain from weak core muscles and constant constipation (which I have had for years) which also contributes to the prolapse. Having 2 children also contributed. Have you experienced any pain with your prolapse?

I have delayed surgery to get more information (the doctor is 3-4 months out for scheduling surgery). The prolapse is at stage 3 again. Just taking it day by day:>)

Have you scheduled your surgery?
