Does anyone else have a bowel prolapse?

[Heartof3]

Do you find the pain worse after eating? The pressure pain in my pelvis & back is awful 😖

[Jacey1]

Hi, I have a bowel prolapse too. I don't have pain just tremendous pressure so I'm almost constantly aware of it. It must be very difficult to have pressure pain too. I hope you are seeing a gynaecologist and that they can help you. I have another hospital appointment in February to figure out if I should have a pessary or an operation. Frankly I dread both and despite the horrible inconvenience I'd rather just live with it. But I'd probably feel differently if I had pressure pain.

[Heartof3 in reply to Jacey1]

Thank you so much for your reply 🙏 It's awful isn't it.

I constantly feel like I need a poo (sorry tmi)

I hope your appointment goes well & you get a good plan of action for you in February.

I had a posterior repair, just over 2 years ago, but sadly it's failed & instead of pressure & buldging in my lady area, it's now in my bottom 😣

I've been referred back, back will probably be a long ass wait - excuse the pun 🙊

[Jacey1 in reply to Heartof3]

I agree, it is awful. You've obviously not lost your sense of humour despite the pain. Your long ass wait has given me a laugh. Thank you! I hope you get an appointment soon.

[Heartof3 in reply to Jacey1]

If we don't laugh , we cry, aye!Thank you.

[Heartof3 in reply to MOLLYMILO007]

Oh, bless you 😔 it's so disheartening isn't it.

Mine started again, after severe coughing with flu. Like you, I was also doing really well. It's no fair 😣

I think I'm going through perimenopause as I have lots of fitting symptoms, but my doctor said 40 is too young? So hrt will be a battle for me.

Did you find HRT helpful before? Xx

[MOLLYMILO007 in reply to Heartof3]

[Heartof3 in reply to MOLLYMILO007]

Ahhh , it's such a battle, isn't it! Bloody life ruling 😣

I do my Pelvic floor exercises everyday, but they feel so weak.

It's so hard to pinpoint if the pain is weak pelvic floor, perimenopause, my prolapse or my adenomyosis. It's physically and mentally draining 😣

What pelvic floor exerciser do you have? Xxx

[Heartof3]

Ahhh, I hear you. It's all guess work, isn't it. Never know what to do for the best. I think if it's ruling your life & you trust your surgeon, then go for it 💜

[MOLLYMILO007]

Thanks you too ...jeanette x

[MOLLYMILO007]

Hi there....the operation is fine honestly you have to make sure u follow their advise but after 3 months you will feel like a new woman..I'm.so fed up I feel the posterer part has failed as I thought I had sorted it all..so so fed up of that ..I'm.bk.on hrt to help with the lack of estrogen as we all know that's the reason for prolapse and I'm using myKegal 8 daily also collegan vit d etc...so I'm hoping to find some positive difference in a few weeks however I have booked an app with my gynie who did the op and if he thinks I need another op I will do as it makes a difference to your life ..I went private but I'm going to ask to go on nhs I know I will have to wait but can't afford another 6.500...no fun is it being a woman...lol...jeanette x

[MOLLYMILO007]

Aww thanks fir that def will try that xx

[Heartof3]

Thank you for this useful info 🙏💓

[MOLLYMILO007]

Very interesting jx

[Kirsihannele]

Thank you SO MUCH for this link. ❤️🙏 I have hypermobility and obviously Elders-Danfos syndrome as well. I have all the symptoms, also local anesthetia takes long to work. Never made the connection before, but this is utterly important, because I'm afraid I'm going to need a surgery because of prolapsed bowel. It seems some doctors don't really care, they just operate - do their trick thinking it's enough... Simply don't care of the consequences of their floppy work and the patients pay the price of their ruined health.

Thanks to your information I'm now wiser when choosing the surgeon, I have an insurance thank God.

[Heartof3]

I can totally relate to everything you have hust said! I'm also sick of the way these so-called professionals talk to us, as if we're not feeling crap enough. It's just awful. I have also had better experiences with males than females. It's crazy, isn't it!

You're not alone bluepettals2 💖 xxx

[Heartof3]

🤣🤣🤣 bum love 🤣

[Heartof3]

It really annoys me how they think they can talk to us like shit. This is the last thing we need. They're obviously in the wrong profession xxx

[Heartof3]

Yes, it's all very strange & corrupt x

[Heartof3]

Oh, bless you. It's awful. Hope you feel better soon xx

Male here, with rectal prolapse, both anterior and posterior: in other words, full around prolapse now. I am 33 years out of pelvic radiation from anal cancer (cured!) but now have a deteriorating pelvis... Surgeons say repair is iffy, likely to fail, and I'm definitely not going for that. Other alternatives might be APR surgery with colostomy, which I also do not want to do, and also has risks; failure, infection, leakage... I thank goodness everyday for feminine hygiene products (PADS yay!) and now on pain pills for the discomfort.

Heartof3 does this sound familiar?

[Heartof3 in reply to ACSurvivorSF]

Oh bless you. It sounds like you have really gone through it 😔

It's so hard knowing what to do for the best, isn't it
