I have a prolapse as well. I really don’t know if it is cystocele or rectocele since I haven't found a doctor in my area who will do anything for me. One told me that more than 50% of women my age (66) have some sort of prolapse as if that makes it okay to just leave it. I am uncomfortable, sometimes unable to urinate…and other times the urge to go is so imminent that I must hurry to the toilet or risk an accident. My urologist is sending me to a gynecologist for pessary fitting but I’m afraid that it will be too uncomfortable to deal with. The urologist said surgery to repair the prolapse would require an extensive recovery. I feel like I’m not being taken seriously but live in a smaller city with few options for medical treatment.
I would be interested to hear from any women who have some type of prolapse. How are you dealing with it if you’ve had surgical repair, how did it go?
Thanks.
