Want to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse

Hello,
I am new this discussion, and I wanted to see what people were saying about prolapse. I personally have been through extreme things with this issue. Because of the extent of my individual situation, I did have an extensive reconstruction of my pelvic floor done by a very experienced surgeon. My advanced global prolapse was a result of damage from oversized babies and a forceps delivery when I was younger. As each woman's situation is very very unique to their lives, it is so important to consider the impact the prolapse is causing, the woman's age and general health with the anticipated recovery time, the preparedness of the clinicians providing services and wisdom of the plan specific to that woman, and the importance of attempting all options before the surgical decision is made. I have had a good outcome, but it took great work to get here in combination with guidance and ongoing targeted exercise. This is in fact my new normal, but a good one. My prayers and best wishes to any woman who is considering any kind/degree of pelvic floor surgery. Go in prepared and take the recovery seriously. Try all options of treatment first. There are many knowledgable clinicians out there to guide you.

HELP! ANYONE WHO HAS HAD PROLAPSE , PLEASE! I JUST HAD A COLPOCLEISIS (THEY SEW UP THE VAGINA) AFTER HAVING A SEVERE PROLAPSE FOR 5 YEARS. I FINALLY GOT THE COURAGE TO DO THIS BY A WELL DOCUMENTED SURGEON. ALL WAS FINE FOR 6 DAYS, SOME MINOR SPOTTING. THEN ON DAY 7 I DEVELOPED MORE RED BLEEDING, IT FILLED THE BOWL WHEN I URNINATED OR DEFECATED. YESTERDAY, I PANICKED SINCE I HAD PREVIOUS EXCESSIVELEEDING WITH MY PERIODS, CHILDBIRTH AND EVENTUALLY A HYSTERECTOMY. MY PANIC IN THIS AREA IS BEYOND . SO I CALLED THE SURGEON'S OFFICE AND THE NURSES AND PA WAS WONDERFUL. I WENT IN , THEY LOOKED AROUND AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE STICHES BREAKING UP. I WAS SOMEWHAT REASSURED, AT LEAST THE PANICSUBSIDED. THEN I SAW MORE DARK RED BLOOD ON MY PAD AND FILLING THE BOWL. FROMWHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURANCE ON DAY 8. CAN SOMEHOW WHO HAS EITHER HAD, OR KNOWS IF THIS IS NORMAL AND HOW LONG IT WOULD LAST? I DONT KNOW WHERE TO TURN. I AM HESITANT TO CALL THE DR. BECASUE THE NURSES GAVE MUCH REASSURE AND I ALSO SPOKE TO THEM ON PHONE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? CALL THE DR? I AM AFRAID HE WILLL GET ANNOYED. PLEASE HELP IF U CAN. GGM
