You might get more replies on the Women's health or General health forums here. There was an ongoing thread on 'Any old prolapse'.

I had a bladder repair many years ago. Not the one you are advised to have but similar. I was younger than you are now, when it was done.

Drugs will not rectify a prolapse. Your dr might give you drugs that can reduce frequency and are for overactive bladder, but they can't put right a physical problem where your bladder has prolapsed.

My operation was done vaginally so not the same as the one you might have. There are other less invasive operations such as gel to support the bladder neck but it all depends on how severe your issues are.

If I were you, I'd ask for a 2nd referral and get another opinion because different consultants have different ideas of what is best.
