Hello everyone,
I’m a 39 year old Mum of three who has suffered chronic constipation most of my life. Doctors are finally looking at my long and looping sigmoid as the cause. Last colonoscopy was abandoned as it’s so twisted now. I’m lucky I think that I’ve only had one emergency visit to hospital with a temporary blockage. Subsequently, I have a rapidly worsening rectocele and posterior vaginal prolapse. Birthing three babies has of course contributed as well. My gynaecologist wants to do a prolapse repair but the bowel problems need to be corrected first.
My question is, has anyone had surgery to the bowel and rectocele/prolapse repair simultaneously? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
