Feeling defeated

[Cmg1978]

Hi, I had a vaginal dissection for endo in the vagina and an adhesiolysis on severe bowel adhesions just over a year ago and my bladder is stuck to the top of my vagina. The pain has slowly crept back in over the last 8 months and I have now developed a cystocele and a rectocele and currently have a pessary ring to sort the bladder prolapse but just so embarrassed with all the problems down there particularly the rectocele and I don't know what's next. I'm so exhausted with it all and don't know where to turn

Thank you for your message, just returned from my appointment after another very painful examination I have just been told ill need a bladder and bowel repair and some sort of anaesthetic steroid injections down there to help. Which has come as a bit of a shock after the nurse told me yesterday that there was nothing more they would be prepared to do except to change the pessary every 6 months. Just glad my consultants prepared to help me. Thanks again and take care x

Glad you're getting somewhere. I found out i have a rectocele and an intussusception ( internal prolapse) recently so you have my sympathies. I don't know whether to have surgery or delay it to ttc. Good luck with your repair xx

It's a double edged sword isn't it pretty major stuff but if they have suggested it would help and I'm glad for you that they are willing to try all the very best to you and keep us posted xxxxxx

Thanks ladies I'm feeling kind of relieved that he's willing to do something to try and sort things out as the nurse I see every six months to change the pessary just said I'd have to carry on like this forever and it was worrying me that I might have another 40 or 50 years of this. So hopefully in the new year things will start to get sorted. Thank you for your kind words it helps to know there are lots if us experiencing these things as horrible as it is xx
