Hi I'm only 19 years old and my doctor told me I have a prolapse and am not seeing a gynaecologist until the new year, it's driving me crazy as I can't think about anything else I have never had problems with sex until I found I had HPV which was successfully treated.. Since then every time I've tried to have sex it's impossible, won't fit in and is so painful, with tearing of my lower vagina..
I put this down to not producing enough lubrication and had my pill changed but this didn't help and then I noticed recently a lump in my vagina opening which is now blocking it and I can still get a finger or 2 inside to have a check what's going on but I can feel that my vagina has shortened in length and the bulge that everyone else describes as feeling loose and spongy, to me is most of the time hard, strong and muscle like, which is causing my vagina to feel tiny and like nothing will ever fit in there again... It's driving me crazy, I'm so young and haven't even had children yet which I would like to, but I don't see this possible if I can't even have sex..
Any suggestions, does this sound like prolapse or could it be something different?
Yes ,but at 19 ? ,,,, but yes it sounds just like the prolapse I had ,go on you tube to find pelvic floor exercises and how to do them properly,my prolapse was hard and I pushed it back up , you could try that until you see consultant ,try not to to get costipated aswell as straining will make it worse,I'm sure at your young age you will be ok and it will be sorted out by a ring fitted to help support your bits inside ,best wishes ,
I know it's not fair, I didn't expect to ever have this problem at my age May I ask how much the pelvic floor excersises helped? I'm taking constipation tablets as that has also been a massive issue this year and I think straining may have brought this on I've heard of the ring pessary but I've also heard of the side effects of it and it doesn't sound like something I want to do, I want a permanent solution
Me again ,I find them very useful ,I also am having vagifem ,it's like a pencil with a tablet on the end that is inserted in the vagina and the tablet released ,then the pencil is disposed of ,it's a hormone replacement ( not that at your age I would think you need I'm afpged 71 ) . I managed to get a great ladies physio who showed me how to do the exercises and yes they help ,also I take a drink called laxido it's not a laxiative but it helps pass motions easier ,I couldn't have a ring fitted due to my age but I do find the vagifem helps ,so might be worth enquiring about it ,best wishes .
I would highly suggest you bring your mom or an aunt with you to your appointment. Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and need support. Also, a second set of ears to understand what is going on.
so sorry to hear of your issue I agree whole heartily with susan1-2....I bring my husband and he tells me things days later that I missed...also if you can get to an gyn asap try not to wait for the new year I've had much success with physio best of luck to you
