When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Haematomas
Basically all it is is a collection of blood.
I had a hernia repair March 07 and I had a Haematoma size of half an orange. NHS were about to slash me open to have a look. I had original op in BUPA. In the end they left it and within the next 4-5weeks it dispersed by itself and went away.
I have not had Vaginal surgery but I do feel (I am no DR) that if they think it will go in a week they very well might be silly. Mine took at least a month or more. They said it would always leave me with a lump there. BUt it hasn't.
I hope you can get through this without having to go through further surgeries.

Sometimes you are holding someone else's heart whithin your hands. You can drop that heart & bruise it. You can squash that heart & hurt it. Or you can stomp on it & totally annihalate it. You stomp on that heart or bruise it. It can forever be changed.

I would say - If they wanna go back in straight away just to see - Make them wait - Things for you would still be healing and as the Haematoma drains it should hopefully let the tissue shrink - There is a chance that as it drains things would shrink etc as it is not stretched for a very long time etc. Take things VERY easy at this time, rest and hope that as it drains things will lessen. Maybe you will still be left with a milder prolapse than you started with - I hope so for you.
Good luck

Hi Lizzorizzo
That sucks. If they tell you about all the things that might happen nobody would have surgery. Hmm. It's like you don't know what they haven't told you because they haven't told you. I don't know how a lay person is supposed to get around this one, except by always doing your own research and clarifying with the doctor before the surgery about all the risks.
Thank goodness it is only a haematoma. Sue is right. As you have no pain, it is probable that the haematoma is the only problem. I really hope that is so. As Sue says, rest up and look after your body. Bodies are amazing how they deal with these things.
Thank goodness the infection appears to be gone. Now get some high quality probiotics into yourself to restore all the intestinal bacteria that have been killed by the antibiotics. It is like a bulldozer has been put through your garden. If you don't replant all your plants and trees and look after them, and keep the weeds under control you will not have a garden again.
Good luck Lizzie. Be patient. Time does heal.
Cheers
Louise

vaginal prolapse repair and periniumplasty latest update!
well what can i say.wish i hadnt bothered... my haematoa decided to come away as i pulled down my trousers at my post op check up!!gross 3 days of thick jellyfish like clumps.
anyway went back monday to see if all had gone back to where it was meant to be.huh
no im now left with apparently hymen skin tags falling out of me.and wait for it a huge bulge which is where the haematoa has pushed the wall of the prolapse repair out.
he asked me if i wanted another op.i said no not unless he thought i needed it doing.he said if it becomes uncomfortable or gets worse then yes.and the best is still to come...
i am still advised not to lift any weight at all!!!with no time limit.
as i have a 10month and a three year old i am unsure how i am to manage.have come to terms that i will probably have another op in the foresable future...he apologised for what i have gone through and said he was very sorry.
fed up and feel like resuming normal lifting as think theres no point to other people helping constantly..
anyone else had similar experience

You've got to be kidding!
L-
I'd keep that idiot doctor away from me if I were you. A jackass is a jackass, and no matter how many times you let him cut you, he's still going to be a jackass, and you are still going get hurt and then be told he's "sorry." Sorry for what? That he doesn't have to live with his mistake? That he doesn't have to live in your body? That his private area is probably perfectly comfortable? He's probably not sorry about that. Sorry doesn't make up for chronic discomfort.
See if you can live with what you've got.
