I had the "partial colpoclesis," also called Le Fort method, on May 4. I submitted a question a couple of weeks ago regarding anyone's experience with it (see the topic "Bladder urgency after Le Forte Colpocleisis"). I had the procedure and am satisfied with it, except I still have bladder issues, either a normal part of recovery or the bladder sling is too tight or something. I have begun Pelvic Floor PT, learning to activate/strengthen core muscles, and the therapist does some internal massage to stretch and smooth out scar tissue. That treatment has been the most helpful! My urine stream is more normal now and I feel that my bladder empties more completely. I am 71 y/o, single, and not going to have sex anymore, thus I chose the Le Fort method. Overall I am happier now without the uterine and bladder prolapse, but wonder if others have had the surgery too and have "twitchy" bladders.
