rectal prolapse

fennel you always seem such a kind and gentle person, I’m sure your friend will be happy just receiving your support.

My husband's sister (she's 59) had that operation a couple of years ago, and was terrified about it. Once she'd recovered, she was so relieved and so much happier.

Thanks for your replies. At least (hopefully) she won't feel worse than she does now.

I had surgery for rectal prolapse along with bladder prolapse repair and hysterectomy for uterine prolapse. For me the symptoms from the prolapsed uterus were severe and had mild bladder issues. I didn't even realise I had rectal prolapse. I felt so much better after surgery.

I can highly recommend the Facebook group Pessaries and Pelvic Organ Prolapse. Lots of very knowledgeable, kind and helpful women to give advice and reassurance.

Thanks again, ladies. I've tried to persuade her many times to join Gransnet but she's not 'puter-savvy.
Though she can do emails.
Moira - her symptoms are severe too, she says it's v. painful all the time.
