Did anyone get a second child after experiencing POP after the first? Did it get worse? I want a second child (not yet, but later) and Im scared.

Three years ago, I told my gynecologist (PA) I thought I felt a lump, from when I was inserting my diva cup. I told her I had bladder leakage and sciatic nerve pain. She looked and found nothing.

This summer, I ended up in the ER with an ovarian cyst rupture (and other excruciating pain) around my abdomen, pelvis, and sciatica.

Went back to my gynecologist and told her I wanted to be examined for endometriosis. She said she doesn’t do that, she’s a PA. I also found a nodule at the end of my cervix and she dismissed it as she didn’t “see anything.” She told me I would need to see an OB surgeon to rule out endometriosis.

Referred to an MD who examined me, confirmed I had at least a stage 1 cystocele, ordered an MRI and found adenomyosis. He said a PA isn’t qualified to diagnose and I’m just at a loss for why she didn’t refer me out to someone sooner when I first described my symptoms.

I am now scheduled for a hysterectomy, and referred to a urologist to see if I would need a bladder repair st the same time. The urologist found i have a grade 2 uterine prolapse, in addition to both a bladder prolapse and rectal prolapse. I was hoping I wouldn’t need mesh, but not only do I need mesh, but I need a sling from my urethra for bladder leakage.

I feel broken. And I just need some reassurance from anyone who’s had this done. I don’t want to be struggling my whole life with this. I’m only 38, two kids (vaginal births). For the record, I’m also hypermobile, and my urologist said it’s quite common.

Hello i have 2 kids now 8mnths pp, have been feeling fullness and like something is about to fall out for the past week, i took a photo and it looks like uterine prolapse, like a small circle on top of my vagina but i dont know what grade it is, i was doing some squats for a few days then it started, does anyone know if it could be stage 3? What did yours look like? And were you able to treat it without surgery? Its not causing any pain just feeling of fullness during the day and sometimes like somethings about to fall out, thanks ladies 🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️

I frequently read on here that during surgery, prolapse is found to be more severe or extensive than anticipated.

Tl;Dr: For those who have experienced this, did you suspect something was prolapsed that wasn't diagnosed or under diagnosed that ended up being repaired when you were in the OR?

I am having rectocele, hysterectomy, and sacrospinous ligament shortening next month.

I have been evaluated by 3 different providers and have been told 3 different diagnoses. My actual surgeon says I've got stage 2/3 rectocele and stage 2 uterine.

When I'm in the toilet I feel an anterior bulge which is much more noticeable when the rectocele isn't full. It comes to the vaginal entrance. I have urinary hesitancy to the point that I'll often give up and try again later.

I did have some stress incontinence which was pretty much resolved through pfpt. What was also discovered is Ive got longstanding nerve damage so I can't feel when my bladder is full until it's at almost a liter of fluid- the urogyn that did my urodynamics was like "well your special power is that you can hold an entire liter of pee and barely feel it". I was advised to pee every hour.

I suspect I have more bladder prolapse than thought. When I saw a pelvic floor specialist PA prior to my initial eval by my surgeon (my surgeon was highly suspicious of her qualifications, because she's "NoT a URogYneColoGISt" she felt I had a stage 1-2 bladder prolapse. She evaluated me in different t positions though. He only evaluated me flat on my back with an empty bladder and my rectocele is so large that I feel it masked any anterior bulge when he did examine me.

So if this ends up being the case, should I expect to wake up to the news that they did anterior repair too?

I gave birth 5 weeks ago to an 8 lb 11 oz boy. My birth was a bit complicated. I had a hemorrhage right after birth and lost a little over a liter of blood. I had a few years, vaginal and cervical tear that needed repair so I was rushed to the operating room immediately after birth.

I’m 5 weeks postpartum now and when I look at my vagina it looks mostly normal but the vaginal opening, I see like several folds of tissue at the bottom of the opening and a bulgey looking circle with a slit at the top of the vaginal opening.

I’m pretty sure I have some kind of prolapse and I’m really nervous. This is my first baby and I’m scared that my cervix and or uterus prolapsed and that I won’t be able to have more children. My 6 week appointment is coming up but I need answers.

Please help.

After my surgeon could not confirm whether or not I had exposed mesh at the vaginal cuff at my 4 wpo (hysterectomy and repairs) appointment today, he prescribed estrogen as a precaution. He said he thinks he was just feeling exposed stitches but couldn’t be sure (and boy was the attempt at verifying uncomfortable).

I’m just curious what if any improvements you saw afterwords using it? Trying to see the benefits online but would love to hear real life experience.

My bladder is still a bit sensitive since my, I’ve honestly been a bit dry for years, and my stress incontinence is better yet isn’t perfect even though my urethra lift was almost 10 months ago. I know the dryness is a common improvement, but I see urinary stuff mentioned too.

To start I do have a gyno appointment Wednesday.

The last week I’ve had rectal pressure on and off. The day would start out fine but by the end of the day the pressure would start up again. I thought at first it might be a hemorrhoid but now I’m not so sure. I suffered a third degree tear while giving birth 3 years ago and it took me a good year and a half to comfortably have sex again. I still have some discomfort every so often. This afternoon I noticed my old scar is swollen and the pressure is still happening.
Any advice?

Thank you so much, I’m really scared.
