cystocele and cyst in urethral

Body: 

I'm new to the forum and need some help or suggestions i am 40 years old and went for my annual exam My Dr. said there is a bulge in the urethral and referred me to urologist i had a Mri and they said i have a cyst in my urethral and cystocele which he says is minor i dont leak just my bladder is a little prolapsed Now he wants to schedule me for surgery to fix the bladder and remove the cyst. Has anyone ever had this surgery and a sling put in to hold the bladder. Im a nervous wreck and scared to death everything that i've read is not very promising is there any natural ways to strengthen the bladder

Desperate in need

Hi and welcome to this community. I'm so glad you found us before having your surgery.

Not having any experience with urethral cysts, I can't comment on the need for surgery for that, but I can say that from everything I've read (both on this site and everywhere else) there's no need to have surgery for a very minor bladder prolapse, especially if you don't even have symptoms for it.

I would definitely NOT have the surgery until you have sought out as much information as you can regarding your exact condition. I can't imagine why your doc wants to do a sling surgery if you are only a little prolapsed. Please take a look at the information on the FAQs on this site as well as the other posts. Then maybe get a second opinion from a urogynocologist.

I know you must be so scared and frustrated right now, but please feel better knowing that you've just walked into an incredibly supportive and informed community.
