Hello , I’m a Lurker and this is my first post. Has anybody suffered with a pelvic prolapse?
i have three DC. Youngest is 4 in a few weeks , so this has only happened recently. Anyway , it started off as waking through the night to use the toilet I tried restricting fluids but it’s not made a difference. Over three last few weeks it’s been hell to live with having the near constant feeling of needing to void I do pass small amounts each time I go and often it feels difficult I have looked at the area and i do have s bulge.
i have seen the GP , this is where my frustration lies. She examined me and said yes there’s a bit of cystocele.but not too bad , but she really wasn’t confident in this because she had told me several times she didn’t specialise - which is fine as i understand the term general practitioner is general . But some of the comments she has made during my appointments
“X-ray result shows an area of medical terminology but I don’t know what that is so let’s Google it”
”If you have an over active bladder there is a medicine we could prescribe but I’ll have to think about it because I Normally only prescribe it to older people , I will call you when I’ve thought about it “ (I’m 31)
“I can’t Swab/smear you because I’m not certified”.
She has booked me in with a continence nurse to hopefully fit a Pessary to help , urology referral to hospital but this is taking around 9 months in our area . but the first appointment I could get isn’t until the first of September which I appreciate is only a couple of weeks but when you are living with such disruption it feels a life time away. Im up and down all day long for the toilet waking anywhere between 2-6 times a night , uncomfortable , trying to look after 3 D.C. ,
Im clear for UTI , she sent it to the lab
apologies in advance for the really long , badly written and awful grammar
has anybody else experienced this ? It’s utterly exhausting! Thank you
