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 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.
I 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 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.

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.

I have been very encouraged reading about the outcome of everyone’s Colpocleisis surgery. I had my surgery on January 31, 2024. I am in my ninth week of recovery. One night stay in the hospital & came home with a catheter for about a week after. I also had very little pain. The most concerning part for me was making sure to take the stool softeners as prescribed so as not break the stitches by straining. I am 86 years old and so happy I decided to have the surgery. Being up and about & getting back to my normal life feels wonderful. I hope this will help someone who may be contemplating having this surgery.
Blessings!

As someone who also had this surgery, and had great results, I agree. It is miracle surgery.😊
