Prolapse

Body: 

This has been going on for several years. Some days better than others...I have a pessary and use it very seldom..it's not that comfortable as my bladder eventually goes on top of it...anyway the last urologist ( I went because of a kidney stone ouch) told me he could just sew me up, my hubby and I weren't too keen about this...he also discussed several other surgeries, none of which were too appealing, in the meantime on occasion I insert a tampax which does work well sometimes...I would like to find a Gyno in my area who could fit me with a pessary, I know there are many out there..any names in the Houston area..thanks

We live near a couple who bought a farm and to supplement their income from sheep farming have started manufacturing high end dildos They are made from high grade silicone and are indicating success in sales. You can google in Happy Valley silicone

Silicone pessaries are not available except thru a medical specialist ! I use a silicone pessary and travel about 100 miles to have it monitored but am tolerant of its negative and appreciative of its positive

Hi Blondie

Glad the tampon is working, but please remember that it is your posture that will be the main factor in keeping your pelvic organs inside. I suggest that you purchase Saving the Whole Woman and First Aid for Prolapse so you understand what is happening in your body and start doing what you can for your prolapses, instead of relying on a gyn for this.

By all means try a proper pessary but be aware that the end point when dealing with a gyn is always suggestion and gentle, or not so gentle, pressure towards surgery, because that's what they do. That's all they can do for POP. I hope you can find a gyn and a pessary that works better than the tampon. Don't go to any old gyn. You need one who does fitting of pessaries regularly.

You can always keep the tampon method as a backup option.
