Pelvic floor!

[inthemaking]

Mt pelvic floor muscles arent as strong as they are supposed to be and the doctor gave me some exercises to do and refered me to the hospital?

I am wanting to have another baby - do you think it would be ok to ttc?

Got the letter from the consultant.I have minimal anterior wall prolapse, grade 2 decent of cervix and a large rectoenterocele!!Also my S234 myotomes are reasonable??Stress incontinence could not be demonstrated. Does that mean anything to you? In my words-it is all knackered and falling out!!

Hmm, I've never seen a diagnosis written down, I will have to ask so we can compare . I know I have little or no posterior wall collapse, mine is all anterior and the cervix is well descended (grade 3 or procidentia I believe). I have no idea what the myotomes are, I have never heard that word used in reference to me. Often, when pissed I have been heard to describe my prolapse as 'my fanny falling out'. I'm such a classy chick, me.

I got these details from a copy of the letter sent to the gp forwarded to me by the consultant. I have no idea what myotomes are! Are there any doctors out there?

Coochybottom, a rectoenterocele is where sections of the rectum (rectocele) and small intestine (enterocele) protrude through into the vagina. Prolapse of the anterior wall would involve the bladder protruding though. Myotomes are muscles controlled by certain pairs of spinal nerves; S2,3,4 are the spinal nerves originating from the sacrum, which control the muscles of your bladder, bowels and reproductive organs. Stress incontinence (I'm sure you know) is the involuntary leakage of urine triggered my movement such as sneezing, coughing, jumping etc. If he says it could not be demonstrated, maybe he means that he asked you to cough and you didn't leak?
Hope that helps.

Sorry just re-read that and the first bit could've been clearer; a rectocele is where the rectum bulges into the vagina, an enterocele is where the small intestine bulges into the vagina - a rectoenterocele is where you have both of these.

how do you all cope with this mentally? ihave a a grade one cystocele and rectocele and my cervix is low down now. i thought i wanted another child but I'm not sure i can cope mentally as i have foudn the last year has had its up and downs. i can be normal then i feel like everything is just going to drop out. will this feeling and upsetness go? how do you get yourself to ignore it? its def got better since stopping bf. ds is one.

I am 9 days post op for an anterior repair soi thought i would join in. I am trying to be a good girl and not do anything silly but boy its hard. No pain as such apart from back ache. Taking regular paracetamol & ibruprofen along with hot water bottle which is taking the edge off but for the last few days its been agony but dont think it helps because my period is due this week.

How long does the back pain last?
