Anyone had bladder, rectal and uterine prolapse surgery?

Has anyone had surgery for bladder prolapse, rectal prolapse or uterine prolapse, or all of them. How was the outcome, recovery, etc.
Thank you. Louise Harper

There was no other option for me. I had the surgery June 8, and would do it again in a heartbeat. I did not want the pessary at all.

That is great news, harper7745 !

I have prolapse in all three, and my excellent (and candid) urogyn doctor said that only 2 of the 3 prolapses could be fixed in a single surgery.

Since my ring pessary works like a charm and I am happy with it (I remove it at night), I will only consider surgery if needed.

I had bladder prolapse surgery - Colpoclesi - and it took care of it, gave me a new lease on life.

@sharnie hi, I'm new to this group. Just found out I have a stage 3 bladder prolapse and am waiting to be fitted with a pessary. Some Google results say that a lot of my fairly severe GI tract issues could be connected to this. Any experience with this?

I would like to avoid surgery for rectal prolapse. The earliest I can meet with the rectal colon surgeon is 3 1/2 months away.
anyone have any ideas.

Had sling for pelvic prolapse, rectocele and cystocele repaired and enterocele found during surgery and repaired. Now have prolonged Post Operative Urinary retention (2 months since surgery), upper extremity blood clot. Now recurrent continuous UTIs. Self cathing. Surgeon says if she loosens sling I will probably void urine. Currently on Eliquis for the clot so not a surgical candidate at this time. This has ruined my life.
