So, I was in perimenopause, symptoms.building up left right and centre..brain fog,quietly seeing ALL the time, with little things bringing on full rage at the drop of a hat, hot flushes, night sweats..all of that good stuff. Had to have hysteroscopy for hemoraging every month in 2020. Periods been very light ever since which I have been very grateful for. Now Jan 2022, period didn't turn up at all, so I made an appointment with my gynae, to talk about all the things. He is very lovely, immediately agreed to hrt, did my smear test and then asked what I wanted to do about the prolapse. Now that is something that has happened slowly, and I have gotten used to each step of the way-up.to and including pushing everything back in when It falls out. Turns out it is now only fixable by surgery, so we made a plan for hysterectomy, with prolapse repairs and bladder sling. I went under the knife on the 4th Feb, and am generally doing really well but when he went in to do the repairs I had basically no pelvic floor muscles. Everything was prolapsing and needed repairs. I am now 8 days post op and the perineal stitches are killing me. It's still like sitting on cut glass :( I know it's going to take time, and I'm just feeling sorry for myself, but hopefully someone will come along with some words of wisdom to deal with the pain.
