Prolapse

Hey just looking for some advice off anyone. I'm 6 weeks postpartum. I realised I had a prolapse 1 week after giving birth, I was and still am horrified, I went to doctors and was told it was a mild uterine prolapse (doctors are useless, just sent me on my merry way without much info) but I think it's a more moderate as I can see it at the entrance of my vagina, it doesn't stick out but I can see it's there and it's pissing me off. I had really bad symptoms at first, leg fatigue, dragging sensation and just general really awful discomfort so I started doing pelvic floor exercises and I think they have been working as I don't feel as much in discomfort now as I did the first couple weeks but it might just be postpartum recovery aswell, anyone else got a prolapse and how does it affect them now? Is it normal to see the prolapse at the entrance of vagina? Can a prolapse reverse as in go back up (even a little bit) on its own or is it going to constantly be hanging where it shouldn't. Feel fed up and really let down by healthcare providers, went to see another doctor to ask if I could get a referal if it wasn't better and he just offered me anxiety tablets (cause it's obviously not normal being worried over organs falling into the vagina) -_-

@FuriousR hopefully my period it just making things a bit worse st the moment then and your totally right it does make sense that a Pessary would help a prolapse heal especially postpartum while everything is gradually sorting itself out. You have no idea how helpful you've been to me, I'm a nervous wreck and always have been since being a kid so this made me flip :,) especially being hormonal and having no one to talk to that understands how I feel, I've actually just been to doctors and got the pill I used to have the implant but Jesus that thing caused so much acne :,) I was covered it was so sore, the coil is actually something I've considered but ooh scary thought now :,) I'd be scared it falls out lol doctor also said if I'm not better in 5 weeks he can refer me to a gynaecologist which actually relaxed me a bit as last doctor made me feel so ridiculous to the point I got home and Burst out crying but this doctor was sympathetic and kind and positive xxx
