Gynaecologist

Body: 

Hi ladies,

I have just got back from my appointment with the Gynaecologist. He has told me that I do not have a prolapse but a slight sagging of the front wall, which he said was nothing to worry about. Once again I was floored! I said but surely it is not normal to be able to put your finger right through the centre of your cervix which is only about 1.5 inches inside your vagina!! The examination was carried out with me lying on an examination table and I did say that my cervix will go back up when lying down but he asked me to cough several times an said that nothing was coming down or bulging.

He did say my uterus is twice the size it should be which may account for the heavy feeling I am getting but had no answers to how to rectify the situation. He recommended I have a coil fitted to help with heavy bleeding or try medication to reduce the flow. Well how does this shrink my uterus back to its normal size!?

I am not sure what to think now but I KNOW something is not right ‘down there’ and I am not convinced/reassured by this examination. There is NO WAY your cervix should be that low!

I am certainly not giving up on Christine’s work and will continue with the posture and hopefully my package will arrive soon and I can start with the exercise as well.

I just sincerely hope that I can stabilise what has happened.

Until I had them examine me sitting on the edge of the exam table (with my butt hanging off) then it was quite obvious what I was talking about.. I swear sometimes I think Dr's don't have brains, just books

Ugh. Next time climb right out of the stirrups and stand upright on the floor, spread your legs and insist he check it now!! You would think 8 years of medical school would leave them a little smarter, wouldn't you?

I got my Gynae to examine me standing - He did it even though normally they like you lying down for some reason - I would always ask the Dr to examine you in the position you want to be in... He did it and then I got the answers I was looking for...

Sometimes it makes you wonder if medical school was a school they could do online or something without seeing a REAL human...

is, imo, a small prolapse of the bladder. especially if that's what it looks like when you're laying down.
not that it matters anyway, YOU know how you feel.
maybe find another dr?
or, so long as its nothing of real medical concern, heal yourself. I hope your book gets to you soon.

I have come to the conclusion that as this is not life threatening and even if they do find a prolapse it is up to me to heal myself. I just wanted to know what stage of prolapse and how many I was dealing with but then maybe not knowing is better for me. The only thing they can offer me is surgery anyway and I am not prepared to take that route but he did say that they wouldn't even consider surgery on me as there is nothing to repair at the moment. I keep telling myself that if they can't find anything then maybe the prolapses are mild and I can keep them that way - or is that wishful thinking on my part!!

I am booking in to have a Maya Massage to see if I can do anything about the enlarged uterus and my heavy periods and await Christine's book and video.

If your uterus is twice the size of normal I don't think I would worry about what stage prolapse you might be. Perhaps its not prolapsed at all.

I would like to think that nothing is prolapsed but today I have that feeling like I am carrying around a bowling ball and you just know when something is not right with your body. Oh well.

My Maya Massage is next Tuesday and I am really looking forward to it. I will report back as to how it goes.
