I have rectocele and finding it hard to cope too. I have so many symptoms and my gps are sick of me - had cammera up, ultrasound and ct scan all showed nothing and confirmed to GPs my symptoms are all in my head - but then the proctograme showed rectocele - think I have more than this going on like bladder, uterus prolapes and problem with womb fibroids and collagen right around my body - I felt like my bowel was leaking out into my body and this I am told is impossible and I would be dead. what has been your experiance with gps

My experience with gps and consultant are not good they offered little help and advice and I was very disappointed that they seem not to care, I have a rectocele, endocele, and sigmoidocele so I think they are all prolapses and also intussception so a difficult time all round and no one to turn to for help

same here. I am sick of Gps - when I told one of my gps that I had been diagnosed with rectocele she just showed me the first picture on the I am waiting for a referral to a functional surgeon but the waiting is intense and i have been ill since January. I think I have a total prolapse of the pelvic organs but the gps just keep saying wait until you see the specialist. my feeling is I will need to be referred to different specialists for each organ - The functional will deal with the bowel but a different one will be needed for the uterus and an other for the bladder. it's all going to take a long time to get to see anyone who can advise.

waiting for appointments I have been ill for over a year with rectocele and only had about 3 appointments which were all useless, I had a bad consultant and now on second opinion but they all seem to have the same attitude like they don't want to help at all looks like they just leave you I feel like I have been left on my own to deal with it all with no help available
