I’m really hoping there’s someone out there who has had similar experiences to me as I’m feeling so down and alone!
I am 16 days post op for anterior repair for bladder prolapse. I was aware of an anterior ‘bulge’ from straight after surgery which I’m trying to tell myself will improve with time but it’s on my mind all of the time as I can feel it the vast majority of the time.
I looked in the mirror on Thursday (the surgeon actually recommended I looked every few weeks to assess progress of pelvic floor exercises) and can see what I’m fairly sure is a rectocele which definitely wasn’t there before. They said after surgery that my vaginal walls for very ‘lax’ so was expecting some kind of recurrence in the future but not this soon! So far asymptomatic but still not doing much. Barely left the house in 2 weeks. Feel so down and starting to regret the surgery.
Background- 36, one child nearly 4 years ago born by forceps. Very fit and healthy before surgery and used the cube pessary.
Any worlds of experience/wisdom would be so helpful right now!
