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
Thank you for your response
Question did u get a title hysterectomy and a closure vaginal so that your prolapse won’t fall out anymore
That’s what I’m considering .
And how painful was your surgery after surgery and reconvery
I am 65 yrs old now
And I am so terrified!
Also with the Urodynamic procedure
Thanking u in advance
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 was told to use an estrogen cream vaginally twice a week, which I have been doing. Supposedly, it is more benign in that form. However, many years ago, a doctor said that it still gets into the bloodstream. I mentioned that to my urogynecologist, and he did not agree with that. I could ask my long-term gynecologist for his opinion.
I had the surgery at age 83, and I am now 85. I have severe osteoarthritis of the entire spine and my right shoulder, which causes me considerable pain on certain movements. I also have scoliosis (a curvature of the spine) and stenosis ( a narrowing of the spinal column). My last dexa scan showed osteopenia. I have lost considerable height and am no longer able to remain fully upright when walking, so these are some issues that I'm dealing with. I'm trying to figure out what can be improved, risks and benefits of any treatment, and what I have to learn to live with. I do go to a chair exercise class, ride a stationary recumbent bike, and can use an elliptical machine. I also can try walking poles, which have been adjusted to compensate for my curvature. I don't think these things are necessarily related to my surgery.

Thanks for the response
After your ovaries are taken out their is not any estrogen in your body
Even on menopause your ovaries are still producing
After your hysterectomy did they put you on HRT estrogen
I heard there are pros and cons with it
It can lead to bone loss , heart disease , Cancer , stoke
Thank you

Some doctors require the urodyanimcs test. I think it helps them determine whether you might need a sling inserted to support the bladder. In my case, it was decided that I didn't need it. The test is not painful, just something to get over with. It had been set up by another doctor, not the one I had the surgery with. My doctor, a urogynecologist, said that he allows his patients to skip the urodynamics in some cases. I decided to have the total hysterectomy because I thought the success rate was higher with it and also because, if I ever had bleeding from the uterus, I thought they would not be able to do an ultrasound after colpocleisis. I didn't have any unusual bleeding or pain from the surgery. I like the doctor, and my son thought well of him too.

I'm sure your doctor will prescribe appropriate pain medication as needed after your surgery. As the medical professionals always say, take them in the intervals advised (meaning don't stretch out the time for your next dose), especially knowing your pain tolerance. This should ease your pain. They will also prescribe stool softeners if you need them. Be sure to eat foods high in fiber and drink lots of water and other liquids. I drink a lot of tea.

I'll do some short responses one topic at a time since my other long response didn't go through.
As luftmensh1 mentioned, the urodynamics wasn't painful, just uncomfortable. They fill your bladder with water to see how it responds to different circumstances. If you can't hold it, a bowl catches the water (urine). They're really testing your bladder, and not really directly related to a prolapse. Any tweaking of the bladder can be performed at the time of surgery.

The vagina is shortened and sewed up on both ends to hold the bladder and uterus up. Very slim chance of any future prolapse, as studies have shown.
