Repair?

Body: 

The gyn. said he would go abdominally, remove the upper part of my uterus, keep the cervical neck (which is usually outside my vagina) attach a plasic mesh to that and attach it to sacrum and if necessary do sthg to my bladder and it is recommended that they remove the ovaries.
I have no idea how little or great the prolapse will be to me in future. He said to call him when I am ready. I am NOT comfortable with all this talk o f cutting. I have minimal discomfort with prolapse--

I've said all I can possibly say about that! Your choice. :-)

If you have minimal comfort with the prolapses why undergo surgery and allow what body parts you have remaining immobilized. Talk about added discomfort!!!. You are in the beginning stages and hopefully will be able to arrest any further progression. Nothing comes with a promise, not even this, but then the surgical route also doesn't.

Katrina..I agree with Sybille...If I have to go thru the rest of my life with a v brace, I would rather do that then have a doctor of Practice remove a part of my body that should stay there. I just got my brace today and cant wait to see how it works out tomorrow. I am still waiting for the book. My instinct tells me that the correct posture will make a big difference. It all makes too good of sense. Love and Light willowrain

Thanks for the input:
My prolapse is outside of my body.
I listen to all in this universe that I hear.
My inner voice tells me that what this doc wants to do is absolutely ridiculous?
My sense of good health led me to him for advise.
We have so few doctors here in Ont, Canada
I am so grateful for the information that I hear on this site.
I share somewhat the anger at medical people for not having a more gentle way of advising me to deal with a somewhat degenerative? condition. It is not my intent to do what I do not comfortably feel I should.
I could not find casille soap that Christine advised so I found a baby soap. It will not stay up while I shower so it slighly burns through the day with most soaps and this concerns me.
It is so true that besides the perceived unnaturalness of this and a bit of dryness it in no way seems to bother me. Unless it is the cause of some leg pain??
Maybe my sciatic nerve--I have had therapy recently for this--my fascia are week also in my ukpper legs.

Cathy,

I so hope you can relax into this work and see if it will pull your prolapse back inside. Once the organs are inside things are infinitely easier. Until then, use caution with soaps, etc. and see if the V2 supporter is something you'd be interested in. If you can't become more comfortable, and I must remind you that many women here have increased their comfort level to a point where they don't even feel their prolapse any longer, then other things become an option.

I'm betting on your success.

Hi Cathy,
You might find castille soap at a health food store or on the internet.
My prolapse protrudes at times and when I shower I hold it up and just use clear water to cleanse around the opening of my vagina.
You will find that using the posture sitting and standing helps to get things up and many other benefits too. Relaxing also helps (deep breathing works for me),when I am tensed up my prolapse seems to be worse.
I hope this helps you. I live in B.C.

Hi Cathy
I saw castille soap in Trader Joe's yesterday. Do you have one near you?

REI and Vitamin Cottage also carry this soap. You can order from both on-line. Just go to REI.com or Vitamincottage.com. Good luck. I have the Hemp Peppermint Castile soap. It is a little stingy so next time I will try the plain soap and not in the liquid but a bar. :)
