Just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar, and what their outcome was.
For almost a year now, I’ve had trouble defecating. My GP just put me on strong laxatives, because I can only go if it’s liquid 😳
If I feel up there, I can feel a solid lump pushing into the side of my rectum, which seems to basically be narrowing everything. If I push it, I sometimes bleed out of my vagina.
I’ve been to my GP 4 times this year, and finally saw a gynaecologist. They just examined my vagina while I was lying down, said I have some degree of uterine and bladder prolapse, and put a pessary in. The pessary came out after about 10 mins. They didn’t examine my rectum or seem overly concerned about it, but it’s my main issue! I can cope with pushing my vagina and cervix back in, I can’t cope with the defecating issues!
So what I’m wondering is, where do I go from here? I can’t keep taking these laxatives, it’s making my life hell. And just what’s going on? I read about rectoceles, but this seems like my cervix is pushing into my rectum, not the other way round. Has anyone else had this?
