Strange sensation in tailbone

Body: 

I have noticed a strange sensation on my tailbone sporadically for the last week or so, and I'm wondering if this could have anything to do with my prolapse. This is a feeling of coolness or wetness - the first time I noticed it, I thought I must have leaned against something wet - but there was no wetness. I subsequently realized that this is apparently an internal sensation. I'll ask my doctor about it at the next opportunity, but in the meantime, I thought someone on the forum might have some insight. BTW: I have moderate-severe cystocele and I use a donut pessary for support.

Thanks for any feedback (:

Hi Jean,

That is so funny you mentioned this! I too have a moderate cystocele which I try and manage naturally. I was using the sea sponges (which I'm not using right now because of an infection), but I've experienced that sensation as well. Not to be too graffic, but a few times I thought I had wet the back of my pants.... only to find I had not....thankfully! Maybe Christine is aware of this strange sensation. I only experience it ocassionally so it doesn't pose any problems for me. Does it bother you at all other than it is a strange sensation? Take good care, April

April,
Thank you for your comment. No, it doesn't bother me other than the occasional "wetness" sensation - which is a recent phenomenon for me (it started about a week and a half ago). This forum is by far my best source of info. about cystocele and prolapse in general, so it will be interesting to see if others have had similar sensations with cystocele. Unfortunately, all of the medical professionals I have dealt with so far are surgery-oriented, and when I have questions like this, I usually get a puzzled expression in response and a change of subject.

I get that too!! I never really noticed it though until you brought it up! Just the other day, I felt the back of my tailbone through my pants to see what that was... nothing??! How weird.
