Also so sorry about all your health issues . Please forgive me

I had a total hysterectomy done vaginally. With colpocleisis, the vagina is not closed. They make the vagina narrower and shorter. I insert an estrogen cream into the vagina twice a week. I did not have much pain after the surgery. Urodynamics was not painful, just an annoyance to get over with. I was 83 when I had the surgery. Your younger age should be in your favor. Sometimes in life we put ourselves into the hands of others and trust.

I had colpocleisis (La forte technique) on 1/16/24. So 3 days out. I will report more later but I was expecting some pain. Results following surgery - moderate bleeding day 1 decreasing to very minimal on day 3. I actually feel the same as I did prior to surgery. No pain. I did not change my own pessary. I went to the Dr. For that every 4-5 months. It was getting tighter and more difficult to remove. I'm 81 and know that everyone is different and I agreed to try this surgery. At thi point, there is no prolapse and no urine leakage. That might change. I will report progress after giving it some time.

change. The procedure itself was easy for me.
