bladder prolapse, rectal prolapse and uterine prolapse surgery

Sharnie, how long was it before your bladder urgency subsided, or did it? I had the bladder sling procedure when I had the Colpocleisis 8 wks ago, and am still not feeling in control. Thanks in advance for your reply!

Mine subsided within a few days and when I get an urge now, I can't wait around 😀but it's O.K.

My surgery was 4 weeks ago, and I don't have any urgency. I never did. Feeling lucky! Louise Harper

How long was your recovery?

You all offer so much hope. I’m having a hard time finding a surgeon. Where did you go?

I went to Dr. Gauta at the Naples Bladder Institute. Originally I went to my gynecologist, and didn't like his answers, so did some research. I was told that I should go to a uro-gynecologist. My recovery was 3 days or so. Not much pain. Took Oxycodone the first 2 nights so I could sleep. Took Tylenol ES once during the day. I am so happy I had it done, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Good luck to you. Louise Harper

I have bladder prolapse and am terrified of surgery. Haven’t tried the Pessary ring yet but am not too optimistic about it. Feeling very discouraged

I know how you feel!
I have bladder, rectum and vaginal vault prolapse
I can feel it wanting to come out
I’m so afraid of surgery too!!

I am very happy that I had the surgery. It has been 8 months, and I haven' t had any problems. I didn't want the pessary. I just wanted it fixed. My bladder and vagina were actually out all the time.
My surgery was outpatient. I was only gone from home for 4 hours and I lived 40 min. away from the surgical center. My doc did it laproscopy. Make sure you find a good uro-gynecologist, and see what your options are. Good luck! Louise Harper

I am away from home until the end of the month and am worried the prolapse will cause damage in some way. It’s hard to enjoy vacation with this. Wondering if I should go home.
