prolapse

[kellyvice]

Has anyone had a vaginal prolapse? During labour had a lot of pushing as baby got stuck and ventouse and forceps used now have prolapse does anyone know if it will go back to normal and how long it takes?

I haven't, but I know someone who has. She was told that there is a minor operation that can sort it out, but not worth doing until you're not planning any more pgs. She wasn't sure she'd finished her family, so did TONS of pelvic floor exercises, religiously, and it sorted itself out. But it took about a year, I think . her GP was apparently quite surprised that she'd managed to sort it out herself.

Hope there might be someone else with more info for you - good luck!

Hi cheers for that i just need a bit reassurance that it will go back to normal eventually best get doin even more pelvic floors ta x

There's some information about prolapse here

thanks 4 info v helpful

Hi Kelly,

I had a forceps delivery after a failed ventouse - initially I had a lack of sensation which meant I did not notice a problem but I had horrible constipation which exacerbated a previously undectected prolapse. At my six week check-up I was advised that I had a vaginal and bowel wall prolapse and it has been horrible - a dragging, uncomfortable feeling that has made me feel tired and irritable. I have been trying pelvic floors and seen a physio privately who advised me that my muscle tone was not so bad but that I needed to initiate a Taliban-like regime on the pelvic floors. My daughter is now 4 months old and I feel that my prolapse is better but not solved. I will be going back to my GP in about two weeks to see how I should proceed.
I definitely feel that time is the healer in many ways but I you also have to really work on the excercises and above all avoid getting constipated as it causes havoc with the bowel wall.I will keep you posted if you are interested but you are not alone!

Hi this is exactly what happened with me they tried ventouse then forceps.My son is 4 months aswell I think it is just gonna take time. Keep me posted with how u go on cos i am interested. I m not in any discomfort myself Iv healed pretty well but Im still having the stress incontinence problems which is really annoying have to go back to physio at end of april. Hope u feel better soon
