Experiences with

Rectocele

I had surgery to repair a rectocele prolapse on Sunday (4 days ago). I've been taking Laxido, psyllium and drinking plenty of water, probably a bit too much to start with as I almost gave myself diarrhoea!

has anyone been prescribed Qufora or similar for rectocele issues and symptoms ?

Whether it be Levator or rectocele itussusception or rectal prolapse or the other tests, why go spend so much money on tests if nothing can done really ? At end of my rope ! It Seems not widely done anywhere in US

I have been looking and looking for people's experiences of rectocele repair surgery and all I could find was stuff that completely terrified me, so much so I was in two minds whether or not to have the surgery.

I have a rectocele and would like an operation. I am looking to see if I can have it done privately but wonder if anyone else has had one who is immunosuppressed? I am on Methotrexate and Imraldi .

I am looking for other women's experiences regarding a rectocele? I was diagnosed around 25 years ago but really had no symptoms until recently. Now I have a feeling of pressure in my rectum most of the time and it's very uncomfortable.

I suffer with slow transit colon, have a small enterocele and rectocele, I currently take prucalopride, movicol and nortriptyline, I will be starting irrigation too, which worries me due to the rectum pain attacks.

I had pelvic prolapse, cystocele and rectocele. Had pelvic prolapse repair 1 year ago, they took out uterus and tightened vagina to hold bladder & bowel. When I came too after op, they said I had a cyst one my left ovary so would need another op yo remove this.

Hi there I had a rectocele 5 days ago and just recovering at home. The bleeding nearly stopped now that’s good. But I am concerned as I can’t empty my bladder fully.

I also have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, ibs, hypermobility, menopauseal, food intolerances/allergies, and a prolapse/rectocele/bladder repair so being in pain/tired/brain fog is my life!

A large rectocele & possibly a cystocele I’m having a transit study… but am allowed my usual analgesia & laxatives. If it transpires it it’s mostly pelvic related then I shall have ring pessary fitted to ‘hold things up like a tent!

I have rectocele and possible intussuseption again I actually just had surgery for this five months ago. I’m having to irrigate again but it seems like I hurt myself every time with these long tipped fleets.

I'm 77 years old and have been diagnosed with rectocele and cystocele by my GP and also a private consultant, who told me he could do nothing until I had done 16 weeks of pelvic floor exercises.

I have been advised that my best bet to correct my rectocele (1st surgery failed) is to have Colpoclesis surgery. Has anyone or anyone you know had this surgery?

hi please I have a very bad rectocele 4.8cm and excessive perennial descent I was told by surgeon not to operate as won’t be successful 47 - and I have bad constipation amd issues with thyroid But everyday is a nightmare Getting to a point I don’t want to eat as then I need to poop down to 47

I've been offered surgical repair of the rectocele as well as a laparoscopy because of the level of pelvic pain I have been having but the risk of it causing further pain has been communicated as 50%! I'm very concerned about being left with pain from the repair.

(I also have a rectal prolapse and rectocele. :( So it’s hard to know how surgery will affect these other things in the same area). Any tips as I decide whether or not to do the surgery? Thanks in advance! 🙏

I had a ventouse birth with my 3rd baby which resulted in a moderate cystocele and rectocele. Since then I've had another baby, a year worth of physio and now my prolapse(s??) have gotten worse and the back wall is now severely prolapsed.
