Anyone had colpocleisis surgery? I want to learn more
Women's Health | Last Active: 15 hours ago | Replies (133)Comment receiving replies
I’m supposed to have this surgery in June and I am very apprehensive about it and also the recovery afterwards. How can you have a prolapse come back if you’re sewn together? Also, any ideas on after surgery as far as foods to eat that will make my bowels move extremely well would be very helpful to me. Thank you.

You're not really sewn together. The vagina is made narrower and shorter, so it can no longer accommodate a penis. I chose to have the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries removed vaginally during the same surgery, but this is not required.

Try putting a few prunes in the bottom of your coffee cup. They will be soft, moist, and delicious when you get to the bottom. I use the non-sorbated kind (no preservatives). Otherwise, fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, dried fruits, flax, etc. Drink water. If all else fails, there's always Metamucil. I haven't found stool softeners that effective.
