Hi
I’m 4 weeks postnatal after a straight forward vaginal delivery, I’ve just been diagnosed as having a stage 2 prolapsed cervix by the GP. The GP was absolutely awful and has left me feeling very anxious about the situation, I obviously had many questions about what this means and how to prevent it getting any worse, but she rushed me out without providing many answers. She said it’s going to be a while for the referral due to covid slowing things down at the hospital and advised it might be beneficial to go private if I can.
One of the questions I asked the GP was how this would affect sex, I mentioned not planning to have sex as don’t want to poke at the prolapse and make it worse, the GP told me it could be a very long wait and that I must have sex, as my husband will have been waiting 9 months already and men don’t wait, he’ll go elsewhere. I couldn’t believe she said this to me it’s so unprofessional, my husband is very supportive of everything and I’m so upset the GP said this. I don’t think sex with my cervix hanging down is going to be good for anyone.
Anyway, I have booked a private consultation next week to get some questions answered and put my mind put at rest, I don’t have any insurance but need to do something or I’ll drive myself crazy. I’m a very active person but just feel even walking is uncomfortable and I’m so scared of making it worse, I’m keen to hear anyone else’s experience of this and any advice on what I should and shouldn’t be doing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it likely to be rectified by exercises alone or am I more likely to need surgery?
