Want to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse

I only had a bladder tie up with the "new mesh" and the sling to lift the urethra. Your vaginal closing surgery is a different procedure. My bleeding afterwards was unremarkable. Yet if I had that much bleeding I would be panicked also as I would assume something broke loose. If upsets me that with all that bleeding you only got to see a nurse. Now 6 weeks later you should be healed and don't understand why the doctor isn't examining you for your residual discharge. Why not be assertive and go to the office and park yourself there until your doctor will take the time to examine you.

I should add that previously my uterus and ovaries were removed 6 months earlier because of prolapse. I did need to wear a pad for weeks, not a heavy discharge but still a pad was needed. I did have considerable pain for 3 weeks afterwards and then still for months had pain issues. I needed the follow up bladder prolapse surgery because my hysterectomy was preformed by a "baby doctor" not a specialist who only worked on prolapse. He removed the uterus but didn't recognize I needed bladder repair also. Big mistake on my part. This is a reminder to to those of you considering prolapse repair. Do not go to your OB/GYN doctor. Search for a prolapse specialist!!! New and great techniques and this is all these surgeons do and they are more successful. I am glad I did my homework this time. Still I had to drive 2 1/2 to see for specialist, yet so worth it.
