Want to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse

I had three way vaginal prolapse that caused constant urinary tract infections. I had the surgery done a year ago, and have had no pain and no longer have urinary tract infections. I do not need a prolapse garment, but need to make sure I urinate on a regular basis to eliminate an accident. A pad on occasion is used in the event of emergency. But not necessary on a regular basis. The surgery beats having a urinary tract infection every three months.

I agree the prolapse repair with mesh, even done vaginally is painful afterwards and it required an overnight hospital stay. I can handle strong pain pills like oxy without addiction; I needed pain meds for a week. The sling is an easier, outpatient procedure and it extends time between bathroom visits. In a just a few days I was off of pain meds. All that was 4 years ago and glad I don't have to live the rest of my life with a prolapsed bladder which is a handicap.
Hi, @shirls1948 - just wanted to clarify what you meant when you talked about 3-way vaginal prolapse? Did you have prolapse in your rectum, bladder, urethra, small bowel, uterus or vagina? I had surgery over 7 years back to correct bladder and rectal prolapse.
How was your surgical recovery?

Dear Shirls 1948,
Thank you for shearing your story. Can you tell us if you still have vaginal prolapse? And if it’s not a secret who was the doctor who did the successful surgery? Will be much appreciated.
Kind regards
