Can anyone tell me about guidelines for a reaonable time to wait for a surgical fix? I have a moderate cystocele, very severe rectocele and grade 3 uterine prolapse and have been in the system for 12 months now being pushed along with various waiting lists for interim tests.
My proctogram has shown that I have an intussusception so I'm waiting since May for a joint clinic with my uro-gynae and colorectal surgeons and there is no date scheduled as no clinic has been agreed.
I feel very upset to have waited this long, I have 2 very young children and my problems have become more severe in the 12 months I have waited so far! I think I will see the joint clinic in November so probably minimum of February next year before I can have surgery if I need a joint surgery.
I've been seeing a specialist nurse from the clinic to get fitted for a pessary (on going, no right fit yet) and she's sympathetic but I don't feel my treatment is acceptable and I don't know what I can do about it.
Any advice appreciated and hello to anyone I know -- this is a very identifying thread! I am not shy about moaning about my complications to my friends!!!
