Pelvic floor repair - how successful was yours?

[theresathought]

Please come and give me some perspective on this!

I had a pelvic floor repair surgery a month ago, to re-suspend my bowel and my uterus using mesh. I'm feeling the benefits with the repair to my bowel (previously incontinent) but to be honest, my womb still seems to be prolapsing and after just a couple of hours on my feet, my cervix is close to the entrance of my vagina.

Has anyone else had similar surgery to correct a uterine prolapse and how did you feel immediately afterwards? I don't know whether my expectations were way too high prior to surgery, to think my womb would be back where it started, and that this surgery has been a partial "success" or whether in fact it's failed.

Am feeling disappointed and upset things don't feel more secure down there in spite of the surgery. Has anyone else had successful corrective surgery which didn't involve a hysterectomy?

That's a very subtle bump!
What physio have you been given? Have you been doing it religiously? Do you have a specialist nurse you could ring? Or failing that, go and see your GP? When do you next see the surgeon?

Yes, I think I was being too subtle about it, hence the lack of replies! Thanks for replying.

I have an appt to see my surgeon/consultant 6 weeks after the op. I was discharged from hospital without seeing a physio or any instructions to do any exercises, so I haven't been doing anything. I have been taking it very easy though, I feel I'm being a really lazy madam. But how I feel falls so far short of how I expected to, I'm wondering if the surgery hasn't been successful.

Anyway, nothing I can do now but wait and see how things are at the 6 week stage.

hmmmm doesnt sound right to me have you tried ringing them or your GP for advice or maybe an earlier appointment
