Anyone chosen hysterectomy over repair for prolapse?

[suwoo]

If you search my threads, there are many here about my 9 year old prolapse. Due to a change in my circumstances I thought now would be a good time for a repair. I was very shocked when the (very specialist) gynae suggested that a hysterectomy would be the best course of action. The prolapse is now a grade 3, and would be protruding significantly from the vagina if not fairly well managed by two ring pessaries. I said no to the hysterectomy and plan to try the repair first. I am a young uni student of 35 and although my family is complete after 3 children, I'd never say never to more.
I'm NBU to say no to the hysterectomy so vehemently am I?

Hi Ladies, Just found this thread.

I have a rectocele and have just been refered for physio. I wondered if any of you could tell me what it might involve?
It was embarrassing enought to see my GP and say I can't poo without using my hand (sorry TMI)
Also, have a 21wk old DD, so if I needed surgery, I just don't know how I would cope with no lifting for 6wks.
I've only had sex once since DD was conceived and not at all since she was born (but that's a whole other thread about my f*ed marriage.)
I'm only 34 and feel like my body is wrecked for good :(

Cannot belive the crap i have just been through. Have been waiting for uterine suspension and pelvic floor repair for 5months was supposed to go in monday before op tuesday this week, had ph call from nurse monday morning telling me not to come in as there are no beds but to come in tuesday at 7.3o instead and to starve from midnight no food no drink. I arrived at 7.15 with bag very thirsty (psycological im sure)we were all put in a conservatory that was just before the ward, 6 went straight in with nurses rest had to wait for beds to empty, and wait we did we heard rumours of cancelations but nobody would tell us anything just kept saying if you want your operation keep nil by mouth 2 went in that left 3 surgeon came out at 2.30 and sent 1 home with new date that left me and one other and wait we did if we asked a nurse what was happening we had our heads snapped off, by now i had a pounding head visitors were eating and drinking around us, and we had no idea if we were going to be operated on ..eventually at 5.15 a doctor came out and apologised and sent us home 19hrs after no food or drink i am now waiting for a new date ..i really hope no one has to go through this it was torture ..
