Thank you for sharing your experience. Thank goodness I have not had quite the issues since mine is a prolapsed rectum and the vaginal wall is strong. I eat a whole food, plant based diet and have no issues.

Again thank you and I hope the best for you.

@ejoy, @erin123
I'm so sorry to hear both of you are struggling with this decision. I've had alot of female surgeries in my 60 years, starting with a partial Hysterectomy at 36 yrs, followed by a cystocele/rectocele surgery (40s), a vaginal prolapse repair (50s), and an oophorectomy/salpingo(50s).
All have been successful with no complications so far. What I remember as the most uncomfortable symptom was having to wear a Maxi pad for 6 weeks due to spotting and having to be careful about not lifting heavy objects. I would suggest that you weigh your current discomfort and decide from there. If you are not to uncomfortable or symptomatic, then the surgery may not be the best option for you and perhaps therapy or medication may help. If you're in true distress...consider the surgery and research recent surgeries and outcomes on a Google search. Hoping you get the answers you need.
