pelvic organ prolapse

[juliacurio]

Hi!everyone?Iwant to share this to those who has suffering from this pain.I discovered giving birth was relatively painless compared with the pain I experienced every month: it seems that my periods really did hurt.

I have accepted the consequences and I am not in pain. I have a good, caring partner and grandchildren. At years old, I began having pain between periods. I found standing up difficult, sex painful and conventional work impossible. I felt sick, depressed and as though no one believed me. I took work as a cleaner but only in large houses where the owners were absent. This was so I could lie down with my feet propped above my head wheneverI discovered giving birth was relatively painless compared with the pain I experienced every month: it seems that my periods really did hurt.I was eventually sent for an ultrasound. Quite unprofessionally, the radiographer, a man, said: ‘I hope you’ve had all the children you want, this doesn’t look good.’I mourned my lost fertility but I was lucky that I already had children.It is a horrible condition. It cost me relationships and it ruined my body. I have pelvic organ prolapse now after so much surgery and it crushed my self-esteem. It is such a private and unseen suffering. I am so glad it is better treated and understood now and let’s hope for every woman the learning continues
