Pelvic organ prolapse

I had a hysterectomy in February for prolapse. Mine went from just noticeable to severe in six months. I was asked more than once if I had sex and had to complete forms about my sex life. They only recommend stopping for a couple of months post surgery.

Thank you, interesting to hear that a pessary can work, my sister tried one but ended up with surgery which has been a success so far.

Do go and have a chat with your doctor.....I 'sat' on mine for months getting more and more upset about it. Dissolved in tears in Doctors surgery and was so surprised at the very simple solution that works for me. I have a silicone pessary that is changed every six months. It works a treat!

I'm sure all on here will agree you have done the right thing at the right time! .

Many thanks Greyduster - so helpful. I have made a dr's appt for next week!

I'll p.m. you.

Yes, you're right, I will, thank you

Yes, you need medical help on this one. Don't put it off!

Teetime is right and gives good advice.

mazza I think you need a proper consultation here - is there a female GP in your practice you could consult or ask for a referral to a gynaecologist. There is no need to let this spoil your life and there are many strategies to make this better for you. Definitely get an appointment asap before you go away.
