I’m a consultant gynaecologist - AMA

[quince2figs]

I have worked in a variety of settings - hospital obstetrics and gynaecology incl labour ward, PMS and menopause, currently community contraception and unplanned pregnancy services, NHS and non. Ask away!

Can I ask my prolapse surgery won’t be performed on someone my age? (27) I have back and front prolapse I’ve got three kids but they won’t perform surgery despite knowing that I have to press on the lump to poo ?

Wow! Stumbled upon this thread and have read it in its entirety. OP - thank you so much. Your care, knowledge and advice was invaluable for so many people. A truly devastating post towards the end. It’s heartbreaking to know that OP was driven away; the advice she was offering clearly helped so many women. @quince2figs we thank you

What an amazing thread!

I can't believe I only just discovered it today, had a baby almost exactly 1 year ago.

I've not read the whole thing but honestly so informative and also a very sad indicator of how women are treated generally in society re gynae/obstetric issues

Thank you to the OP (who I realise has long gone) for starting this

And just to add what a complete moron teainbed was (and probably still is) with their twatty post
