very very very embarassing , womans troubles down below help ??

[muma3]

this is extremely personal but need to ask if there is anyone else out there who has experiened it?
have just had dd3 and feel like my inside are coming out ?? i have scar tissue down below and everything is very swollen , im scared. i inserted a tampon today and thought that i could feel my cervix i have never experienced this before and i nearly fainted. think my uterus is dropping out of me . darent get intimate with partner because im scared what he will see down there it is horrible and ugly and also can i get help with surgery or something ?
any health professionals out there please help because i darent go to my docs ????
how embarassing

can I join in the bits falling out thread too - yes, I am officially another sufferer having plucked up courage to go to the docs this week! Sadly, ignored it too long and am also being referred to the gynae for surgery but am now very excited at the prospect of having a "designer vagina".

Tamba - I know it varies from region to region, but how long did you have to wait for an appointment at hospital?

Muma3 - I left it because I was too embarrassed to go to the docs - now regret it as the examination was less intrusive than a smear - took her all of 10 seconds to confirm the problem!
Good luck for tomorrow.

I havent had a letter from the hospital yet, am still waiting but i hope it doesnt take long!

Hubby is very pleased at the idea of me having a 'designer vagina!' i think if i didnt try and see the positive side then id worry to much.

I am pretty relaxed about the whole thing atm but i think i will worry more when i actually have to have the Op done.

still panicking .
just got in the bath but thought i would feel and check again and i think its either same or worse , what if i cant have anymore childern ?
we are trying (or were ). feel so delicate darent cough or laugh (not that i have or feel like laughing)feel very achy and look about 6 months preg. darent do pelvic floor excersises darent poo i feel well weird . am i just being silly? i keep thinking all the worst i know but if it isnt a prolapse then some thing def isnt right for sure . my cervix is sooooo low that im scared its getting worse . tmw at the docs they wont be able to examine me as im on my period or will they?
still sobbing

will i ever be able to have sex again or my last planned baby?

I had a prolapse. Go to your GP and tell them the problem. They will refer you on. Dont worry, hard I know. It can be put right quite easily. It happens to thousands of women each year, so im sure your GP will be supportive.
Good luck.

does it hurt any of you?

Sex hurts, tampax hurts and i get an uncomfortable feeling in my lower back at times. But the sooner i get it sorted the sooner i will be able to get back to normal. Try to look at it as a means to an end (or what ever the saying is) all the embarrassment, will be worth it in the end xxxxx

Muma3 - My prolapse is at its worst around the time of my period and for the next 10 days or so - I think probably due to the changes and the flow "dragging it down" so to speak. Like Tamba, I can't use tampax and sex is too painful and I also have a low back ache and feeling of nausea like when you are first pregnant. However, I do have one good week when I don't notice it for some reason before my period again and spend all my time doing pelvic floor exercises in the naive hope that it will do some good - rather too late I think

I look on the bright side - it is very common (I think I read somewhere that gynae surgeons spend about 40% of their time dealing with prolapses), it is a damn nuisance, sure, but not life threatening and it can be easily mended!

Be brave and good today - thinking of you.

me and fella arguing over it now think we on verge of breaking up . he is so selfish, basically why should he be worried about me when i am just thinking of myself. doesnt really know how to be supportive. everything a mess . i have been so stressed out that i threw a cup of tea this morning and my dd1 got a smack omggggggg. things are so bad that i just want to run away .
anyway i am going this afternoon to docs. spoke to health visitor aswell and she was nice about it said she had seen it before but not at the docs im at ?????
had one of those morning when i sadi f**k it the kids can stay at home. then got them dressed and phoned a friend but phone off . got meself together and took the half way when the local after school club orginiser took them for me how nice , but it was obvious that something was wrong i was crying and talking to the health visitor
banging headache
please god let this baby be good today!!!!!!!!!

count down til app . really nervous lees then 2 hours
had a friend come round and told her , she was really supportive and is there for me now so i feel bit better
fella hasnt phoned

Good luck .

thankyou xx

feel sick and my stomach churning
" it will be all over soon "
" it will be all over soon "
" it will be all over soon "

ok i went !!!!!!!!
didnt need to be examined he said that it is easy to spot yourself and from the state of me he could see that something was definitly wrong.
referring me and (apparently rare at my age) so i should get an appointment in next few weeks . otherwise it could take months.
he had come across it before but not at my age (23years old if noone knew) . was open about the subject and asked lots of questions . made it sound normal and certainly put me to ease.
yes i will have to have an operation and not quite sure what yet because i want 1 more baby.
think that wont happen now so........
any thanks for all your help people over last few days lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Muma3 - Really pleased to hear that you have seen the doctor. You sound a lot calmer now and I hope that you feel calmer too. I hope that your appointment comes through quickly. Let us know how you get on. I have a feeling that, given I am nearly twice your age, I may have a long wait in store!!

Really really glad you went and it wasn't as bad as you'd thought. Hope that your partner is more supportive very soon.

really bad day, im suffering now for it . my head is banging and ive had a nap earlier lol
me and dp have talked and a male friend of ours has had a word with him and i think he sees things a bit more clearer thank god .
im sure we will sort it out but it hard because i just need all the comfort i can at the min .
i have took this real bad and i dont think he realises how serious it is
well thanks for support and i hope that you dont have to wait too long prolapserus and good luck.
keep you all up to date and hope you stay posted will need all the help i can get to get through this guys xx

Im only 22 hun so it does happen in younger people

Am glad you went to the doctors, youre on your way it getting it sorted now!

got to go bk on thursday to speak to one of the nurses , she used to be a midwife. they want to fit a ring so im more comfortable untill the op but i really dont like the sound of it . apparently its just like a diaphram (contraceptive disc) but the thought of it coming out and ME having to put it back makes me want to be sick .
Dont think its for me ,but will still go and see her because i can get more answers and advice and be examined to see how bad it is

Thanks again - tamba, your a real help for me , to know that you are young too helps because i was starting to feel like a freak !!
how many babys have you had ?
anyway thanks again all and i will let you all know the updates xx
