Hi, @veronicat - I also had prolapse surgery, 7.5 years ago. I'd known it was an option for awhile and tried a pessary, but was not super fond of that. Finally after the holidays that year, I came to the point where I could only exercise for about 20 minutes at a time without running to the bathroom, I had to go buy some serious pads to deal with leakage, and then my bladder started to protrude such that I was uncomfortable and walking kind of like a cowboy. It was also a blockade in the bedroom, and I knew that was not a good thing for my marriage. All these factors put together, in addition to the fact that we knew we did not want to have any more children, pushed me over the edge into deciding to have the prolapse surgery.
Just wanted to ask about what symptoms you are experiencing now that have prompted you to decide to go forward with surgery?
