I have had PN for nearly a decade. The pains were initially appalling. However, I learnt to live with the issue and at times could almost ignore it. I had a sudden prolapse a year ago after a period of inactivity due to having to rest after an operation. As soon as I returned to my normal activities, I developed a cystocele. It was incredibly painful as if someone had my bladder in a vice. Once I had paid to have a pessary fitted, the situation calmed down a lot. However the symptoms of the PN have radically changed. I am not happy with the pessary , the cystocele is now grade 2 and i am seriously considering having corrective surgery. BUT I am terrified of this making my PN worse. Does anyone have experience which I might find relevant to my decision-making?
Also, has anyone had prolapse surgery and (after healing) been able to return to an active life (gardening, exercise, housework etc.) without the surgery failing?
I'm worried that I might go through an operation just to be in the same (worse?) position several months/years down the line.
Personal experiences would be much appreciated please. Thanks.

Pain that worsens upon movement? And triggers longer episodes of pelvic pain if I’ve been lifting or especially walking anywhere.
