I had a laparoscopic vaginal hysterectomy, retained ovaries but everything else removed.
Day 6 for me, and I have some questions and would like some support as freacking out about the thought of vault prolapse.
I am managing pain wise now. Some slight pulling on one side, but manageable. Belly button keeps bleeding, but not enough to run out, so just cleaning it twice a day.
I feel quite heavy down there, is that normal?
I thought I had read everything there was about hysterectomies before I had the op, but the surgeon mentioned vaginal vault prolapse just before the surgery and explained it briefly. I then googled, and the first page brought up an awful image and I can't get it out my mind. I'm terrified that it'll happen to me.
Can anyone offer any help and support.
