I’m having tests next week for diagnostic purposes for prolapse or te to eke. I await more replies as well.

If you go to a surgeon, you are going to get surgery. I have had 3 failed surgeries for vaginal vault prolapse and now I have a rectocele and rectal prolapse which has gotten bad in the past year. At times it is very miserable, especially not being able to differentiate from the prolapse and needing to have a BM and discomfort. More than likely continued constipation is the reason it has all been unsuccessful. People can and do end up a lot worse off with the rectal prolapse surgery. My prolapse has been very bad about 1/2 the time for a year and I have been wearing VERY tight shorts from a surgical garment manufacturer that are no longer working well. I recently got 2 pairs of special pants made for vaginal vault prolapse and varicosities {from a company in Miami) but they are working VERY well so far for rectal prolapse. I wear my regular underpants with a pad under them. One pair are the boy shorts which is the one I have been trying. They have a draw sting that is connected to a thick crotch that lifts things up. They come in different colors, I like black. So far this gismo has been very good and I hope it stays good. My experience is if years of bad constipation originally caused the problem, then constipation is going to cause operative failure. If they start messing around shortening your colon you can end up with diarreah which is much worse. I also do Kegals and exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor which I hope helps. Plus I'm going to finally give up cheese, which I hate to do. I have been taking one tablespoon of Metamucil with an 8 ounce glass of water which I think helps move my bowels. I wish I would have known about these pants before I got the first enterocele surgery and I may not have had it. Also, I am on the slim side and have always used the estrogen patch and vaginal cream and still haven't been able to make the surgery work without mesh.
