I had the partial Colpocleisis surgery a week ago Monday. I didn't have a hysterectomy because 1) they thought I would bleed too much (I'm on a blood thinner) and 2) my uterus is healthy enough to leave in. The urodynamic test is just mostly uncomfortable. They inject as much water into your bladder as you can tolerate, and do different tests. I wasn't incontinent, which they were mainly testing for. I also had an ultrasound and hysteroscopy. I bled quite a bit from that on the day of surgery.

I had a severe bladder prolapse with the uterus right behind it. I used a pessary for a number of years, but it became too uncomfortable with too much irritation and bleeding. I was scared of the surgery, too, but now that it's over, so far, I'm really happy I had it done. Not that much pain, bled the first day (because I was on blood thinner), and less each day. I had no problem urinating after the surgery and since. I do drink a lot of water and tea. I didn't have too much problem having a BM, tho I try to eat a lot of fiber. Yesterday I ate too many prunes and got diarrhea. Don't do that!!! I try to get some walking around the house, but afraid to go too far outside because have occasional incontinence now. My doctor said it might happen right after surgery and improve within weeks.
