I am very pleased that you recovered so quickly. This wasn't my experience as above at the 8 week check with Consultant, she trimmed a stitch which was sticking into me, said it won't bleed. By the time I got home I was bleeding. That was 2 weeks ago. Now at 10 weeks, I still have stitches and some discomfort and burning, I would love a glass of wine but that seems to make everything worse. The Consultant said to use Oveston cream, which I use with my finger. I can't wait to get to 12 weeks when hopefully everything will feel fine. I think perhaps anyone having this operation should be very careful choosing their surgeon.

1 ReactionI commented on this last year after having this surgery. I said it was a miracle then and it continues to be. Very little pain, short recovery period, and I would highly recommend it.

1 ReactionI had Copoclesis surgery with a Perrinoraphy on 7 December 2023. Had Bladder infection within 3 days that took 4 courses of antibiotics to clear up. I saw the surgeon yesterday as still in discomfort and not feeling well 8 weeks later. She said it is major surgery and having a bladder infection would not help in recovery it would probably be 12 weeks before stitches were healed and I felt better. Everything seems to be a lot more of a problem than I had expected. I just think I have been very unlucky
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.

1 ReactionI must confess that I received a notice in my email that I had a question or response from someone on this site. Unlike earlier notifications like this, the new one led me on a confusing path that invited me to create a new account or use my password to respond. I haven't needed to use my password in so long that I had to look it up. Fortunately, it worked. The only comment I was able to find didn't really require a response. Very discouraging.
I have recurring UTI'S for at least 6 months & before. I have taking Methenamine Hipp 1 gram twice a day (every 12 hours). For the last 4 months I have not had an UTI. I am scheduled to have Colpocleisis surgery because of my stage 4 bladder prolapes. I'm praying that this will also help my UTI problem too.
That should be January 31, 2024

Thank you and God bless may you continue to live a productive and quality of life. It was the euro dynamic that terrified me and the recovery. My pain tolerance is very low. Thank you for talking to me and it was a pleasure if you ever need anyone I’m here for you as well, good night
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.
