Hi all I think Im in need of some emotional support it's not something I'm comfortable discussing with friends and. So incredibly embarrassed.
I'm 33 have 3 children youngest being 7 months old. Yesterday I was fitted with a ring pessary for a bladder prolapse which in turn has caused my cervix to come down.
After my internal the physio scored my prolapse 1being mild 2moderate and 3 severe my score was a 1.5-2 and my score for pelvic floor strength is 1.5 out of 5. I'm also on a 9month+ waiting list to see a gynecologist.
The fitting with the ring was super easy no discomfort or anything walked around as they tell you, no issues. Woke up this morning and feel dull achy period pains in my groin felt to see if it has slipped down and i can feel it if I put my finger to the second knuckle in sorry tmi is this normal am I just feeling anxious with it all.
It dawned on my this morning that I'm going to have to live with this for the rest of my life and potentially use pessaries for 30+ years as physio said im not bad enough for surgery. I feel absolutely gutted I'm so upset can't talk to my partner about it as I'm so embarrassed he knows I have issues but haven't discussed the appointment with him yet. I'm scared this is going to have a massive negative effect on my relationship and already low mental health.
Has anyone had this at such a young age and everything me ok in the end? I know im not the only women in the world to suffer with this condition but I feel so alone right now
