Whole Woman Village Forum

Hi

I am a mum of a toddler in my early thirties and have been working my way through
the posts to use the information to adjust my lifestyle - and occasionally posting. I have to my knowledge had a prolapse for approx 10 months - initially a big ballooning cystocele now 2cm inside, but the last few weeks I have felt my back wall balloon out and have been having trouble going to the toilet. Urine also has started to 'spray' when I go to the toilet. I cannot feel my cervix but would suppose with the recent developments this will start moving down now ?

been feeling bulgy lately and noticed last night some egg-white mucous. I'm so not ready for my cycles to start up again. with the older three I didn't get my period until 14 mo and G-baby is only 7 mo. and he nurses exclusively and all night long so you'd think that would keep it at bay.
ugh.

and does anyone know WHY the 'celes are more prominent during ovulation and onset of menstruation? I know that mine ARE I just don't know why.

Ok, today I have a symptom that does usually come and go but today it is persistent and is driving me nuts!

I've just been reading a post from a lady on a well known site about having yet another surgery. This poor woman has had 4 surgeries to date that have failed. She is now about to put herself through gastric bypass to lose enough weight to go through another POP surgery with the hope that this time it will be successful. Her doctors have told her that her weight is causing excessive intra abdominal pressure and once they sort that they can then go back in to reconstruct things again. This woman is in constant chronic pain and lives on a list of pain meds every day of her life.

Why is it that some of us despite doing everything we are supposed to do our prolapse continues to descend. Although my cervix appears to be a little bit higher these days after doing the posture and Maya Massage on a daily basis my front wall continues to sag. I don't know why but I felt compelled to check myself just now and the front wall is really bulgy and saggy from the opening all the way up to my cervix. Nothing is down at the opening but its just soooo disheartening after all my efforts.

wish I could come christine!
maybe one day I'll be able to get out there
in the meantime, I will be celebrating on the 21st too, its our anniversary - 10 years!

Whooops! I really stirred up something here. It is interesting to hear all your thoughts in the Pelvic Health Forum. I am continuing it here, as it doesn't really belong there.

I really thought I was stirring the pot, mentioning eating kangaroos, but it appears not.

Don't you hate when you start feeling somewhat "normal" and then bam! it gets you worse than ever??

And taking care of a 5 month old while sitting on the toilet in pain, and jumping in a steaming hot bath, whilst trying to feed him a bottle and not cry in front of him (i just don't want him to see)

Last night, while tring to deal with the pain of a pulled groin muscle and a bulging cystocele and rectocele, my boyfriend asked "but he's all worth it" and i just cant believe i said "sometimes its not. you dont have to deal with the pain at all"

I was just wondering if any of you ladies could fill me in on your POP during pregnancy compared to after birth. My POP, all three, have moved a bit further south during this second pregnancy.

Did you find it stayed where it was during pregnancy after childbirth or did it go back up a bit after the birth for you? I know everyone's different, but it would be good to get an idea of what to expect.

Hi all. I joined this group and read with a vengence about a year and a-half ago. I have read continuously throughout this time. I appreciate all the wisdom and knowledge shared all around here. It is wonderful. But, as I know happens to us all, I'm really down about all this again. Crying has been a continual thing now daily for a couple weeks. So....I thought I'd post with some questions.
