I had a doctor, few yrs back, say the tissues of the vaginal walls resembles a rope. When its stretched it frays like a rope would when loosening the fibers.

I'm having a hard time believing that. But if it is true, does it mend back together?

Vaginismus comes to mind. If a women can experience having her vagina so tight that penetration is nearly impossible, then mending fibers is a likely scenario.

My vagina is so loose right now. Its dry and gets irritated. I only notice it when I walk. Is there something that can be done for this?

Hi I have been reading through all the information and posts on here and feel like ive had an epiphany...I have not yet been diagnosed but have all the symptoms of having a rectocele and also a uterine prolapse.I have had IBs for many years and for a while now I have been having to use my finger to help empty my bowel and can feel my bowel against my vaginal wall when i need to go to the toilet.I can feel what i assume is my cervix/uterus in my vagina and they are very low down...i also need to pee more often and also have urinary incontinence not major but when i sneeze and cough...I suffe

So I have not posted for a few weeks. The last time I was using the sight regularly I was on holiday and had time, a husband around, no children to get to school no work to do etc. I ordered the book and it arrived when I returned from holiday and I am trying to make some time to use the DVD and do a little of something every day, although I'm finding the pace of the movements quite hard to keep up with .

Could anyone explain? =)

Hi All

It's no wonder doctors appear to be uninformed sometimes, when they are up against this sort of thing. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/may/09/bad-science-medical-... . They have a hard enough time keeping up on their reading. Now they have to deal with bogus medical journals as well. These journals are published by bonafide scientific publishers like Elsevier, but funded by the big pharma companies and the like, and contain papers that give glowing research reports on their products.

I am wondering if uterus prolaps and cystocele could be the reason for my BURNING pain in my lower abdomen. It feels like something is preassuring on the bladder. It feels like I have a UIV all the time. It feels like i need to pee all the time, but just a few drops comes out. It seems like I cant emptying my bladder completely.

So my quiestion is, could a prolapsed uterus and bladder give these symptoms ?
It is driving me nuts :(

sorry bad english.

i have at last recieved my results re my biopsy...it stated in the letter that i may possibly have a uterine polyp..and they want me to have a hysteroscopy and if they find any polyps they will remove them....i personally do not want this operation...do i have to have it done will their be any repucussions if i refuse and leave it alone..i no longer have any post menopausel bleeding and havent dont for a while now..any knowledge or advice will be greatly appreciated..thankyou..

Does anyone know where I can find a diagram of a vagina without proplapse?

or at least symthom free?

I need some hope here. :(

I know I'm less than a week post partum but I am so worried right now. When My bladder is full it buldges out. I'm doing everything I can to stay in bed but come next week my husband will return to work and I'll resume my former responsibilities.

Today, after noticing my bladder out of my body, I reached in to feel where (or if I could even reach it) my cervix was. My middle knuckle is how far my finger will reach. Sorry, I know - TMI. My cervix is low.

Thank you so much in advance for your time and any answers you can provide!
