Want to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse
I am looking to discuss prolapse bladder or any kind of prolapse that other ladies have experienced as well. I would also like to comment on incontinence as well. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to prolapse bladder etc and it seems to be a silent epidemic among women. If there are others out there like me, lets talk about it and I have some solutions. I am surviving prolapse bladder without surgery and I have been living with it for over ten years. I wear a support garment that is light and easy weight and fits right under my existing underwear. Don't know what you are doing or wearing, but I would like to hear from you. Thanks.

Thanks to a Connect member, it was brought to our attention that @tanglefoot may have a vested interest in promoting the support garment "hideaway" mentioned in this discussion. Further investigation revealed that @tanglefoot is the designer and inventor of this product, and that she routinely posts on discussion forums using pseudonyms. Posting solicitations or advertisements of any kind violates Mayo Clinic Connect's Terms of Use. We have decided to leave @tanglefoot's past messages as to not interrupt the flow of conversation, but she will no longer be able to post to the community.

I haven't done anything yet. Was hoping to see a gyn urologist, but there aren't any here in Ft. Myers. I love Mayo, but it's 6 hours from me. I am willing to travel and do the surgery there. Please let me know how your surgery turns out, and I am wishing you a successful and speeding recovery. Louise Harper
Thank you. I am a little nervous about doing the surgery, but more concerned if I don't do it. I will post here afterward.

1 ReactionI also live in Fort Myers, and decided to have my surgery done at the Mayo. They did the vaginal procedure, and I am now close to 6 weeks post op, but still have a bit of discomfort left. I developed tissue granulation and that was cauterized 4 weeks post op. It still bleeds a bit once in a while, but gets better every day.

Did you have the mesh put in for your own tissues to grow through for support? Back over 10 years ago the material in the mesh caused issues with rejection. I had the "new mesh" used and still after years have no issues. It is holding up fine without any inflamation or rejection.
So sorry you had 3. That is not good.
Did they go thru tummy n dorepair. My surgeon said there are 2 ways to do it one for active people pull rectum n tack on back wall very effective n lasting the best.
I had both done have a super day ellen307
so did you have the abdominal open route? I never had that way but did have the back wall tack. I am watched annually so I don't know if there will be another or not.
