I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this, yes we all appreciate that we're lucky to be alive but if your symptoms are interfering with your quality of life surely it's time to try to do something about it. My advice is to ask your doctor to refer you to urodynamics, not a miracle cure but they might be able to recommend exercises or medication that might help somewhat. Best of luck

I would imagine there’s some kind of surgery to hep with this. I would ask for a referral to gyno urology consultant. A lot of women get surgery to repair a prolapsed bladder or vagina. You shouldn’t have to live like this! Xx
