Went to hospital to see the gynaecologist about my much-lamented prolapse. She asked me some questions about my SPD and about my urine retention, which I did think was odd, until she asked how many weeks along I was... Sat looking blank with this awful thought in my mind that maybe I was pregnant (despite just having finished my period!) and they knew but I didn't. At this point, she realised she was looking at the wrong part of my notes and moved along to my prolapse - huge sighs of relief all round.
At least, until she produced the most medieval looking instrument, like the speculum but three sided - what the F* is that??? Anyway, had the pelvic exam, oh joy, and lucky lucky me, I have two types of prolapse of the three you can get, one of the womb, and one of the bowel... I'm just grateful I don't have the bladder one, at least I'm not wetting myself
So, she has referred me for physio since her other option was an hysterectomy, which I think is extreme. I can push my cervix back into place when it drops, (charming imagery there) and it is rarely painful, the odd bout of vague abdominal cramp when its dropped, but thats about the only problem I get with it, so I think I'm making the right decision
I bet if men had these, there would be plenty of options though...
