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.

That all makes sense and sounds good. So far, my bladder is working normally. Glad is better now too.

I am 73 and my prolapsed uterus totally covers my vagina and my urethra so I can never fully empty my bladder except when I first wake up when my prolapse is soft and I can push it inside past the bone. Then I hold it in and head to the loo. As soon as sit down, the urine I was holding all night and yesterday afternoon gushes out. I can only dribble and leak during the day and it runs down my leg. I have pain and pressure when my bladder is full until I push it inside of me and stand over the toilet or sit on it. I have an appt with a urogyno Wednesday and I hope he will agree I have to have this surgery because the previous 5 said to have a hysterectomy. I only want the one you had. Also have now a rectal prolapse. This is too difficult.
