I have worn a pessary on occasion, when I am tired, don't feel I can manage the bulge and my day is not yet done. It is uncomfortable after a couple of hours and I understand it is a trade off one for of discomfort for another. This time upon removing, even with lubricant, and although there was no pain, I have started bleeding, enough to warrant a, "What the heck"? One day later, still spotting, don't really know where it is coming from, anyone else had this happen?

I want to cross post this everywhere on this site, so anyone can find it! Search my previous posts for my story, and all that jazz. Basically, I'm a 34 yr old mom of three, 13, 3, and 7.5 months. I probably had a cytocelle after my second was born, but never noticed other than leaking when I sneezed. I don't leak now, but I was terrified when, at 3wks pp this last time, I felt a huge bulge coming out! Turns out I had a stage 3 cytocelle. Stage three!!! The OB was like "yeah, it may fall out even more sometimes too, instead of just halfway. Ugh!

Hi,
When doing an internet search for diet changes to decrease incontinence, I found a product marketed to support the urethra to prevent stress incontinence. It is like a tampon except non-absorbent.
Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

Hello all. I am new here and have been working up the courage to post here for a few days...

I am in my early 30's and have had five beautiful children. My husband and I have gone through many painful years...facing more heartache, in our first few yrs of marriage, than most people face in a lifetime. So stress has been a huge issue for us for many years...

When I met with Christine, she asked me which of the celes I have. I thought that my bulging came only from behind, recto. It surely seemed dramatically so to me at the time. She asked me about cysto and I said I didn't *think* so, but wasn't really sure of myself. I did share that I have a long history of bladder infections that predate any awareness of prolapse by many years.

I am planning on taking yoga class for the first time ever. My understanding is that there are certain poses that Should not do. Could anyone give me the do;s and don'ts. I will be meeting wit my yoga instructor to discuss my issues. Any and all help would really help. Thanks.

I have been on this forum for over 2 years and have always wondered why the treatment wasn't working as well as others. I always felt that I had something else going on.

We I have found that I have a tipped uterus which is adhered to my bowel from previous surgery. This is adding to the constipation of my existing rectocele and intersusseption of the rectum.

I would like to ask anyone out there if they have this too?

I am only 19 and just had my second child (the women in my family go sterile around age 23-25, so I got an early jump on things after highschool). I had my second and then 1 week after was diagnosed with a cystocele and rectocele..after about 2 weeks of freaking out and being discouraged by all the treatment options, I came across whole woman. I am now 3 weeks postpartum and need help dealing with mine!

So, as I mentioned in my first post, I've caught my celes early and am asymptomatic. I have bulges but they aren't causing problems with anything and I don't feel anything when I'm just doing my thing. I only know they're there when I check manually.
