Whole Woman Village Forum

Greetings dear friends. I am new to this wonderful forum and I wondered if I can gain some clarity on some issues I have been having. I am a 44 yr old woman and mother to 2 wonderful kids who were born via C section. It seems post birth I had a lot of issues with my hormones but I didn't address my health concerns and this made things worse over the years. About 3-4 years ago I suffered a fall upon a metal stairwell and landed on my back (sacrum) and later noticed a bulge when I inserted my tampon (this bugle btw is not outside of my body but on the inside if that makes sense).

Hi everyone

I had my first child, baby girl, 15 weeks ago and self diagnosed myself (doctor confirmed) with a rectocele 1 week post birth. It's at stage 2, you can see it at the opening. I had an episiotomy which has taken some time to heal, doc thinks it's due to the rectocele.
I'm seeing a pelvic floor physio who has confirmed my pelvic floor muscles are working well now, but I'm not feeling any more comfortable.
It makes me depressed as I'm only 31 and plan to have more children but the thought of bearing weight down there and making it worse is very upsetting.

Just found out I have a Rectocele.
I am very uncomfortable with the
Bulging. I'm scheduled for surgery
Dec 7th.
How can I feel more comfortable
till I have surgery. Have a lot
Of pressure and discomfort.

Hello,

I have had a Pessary inserted now for 2 years -in general it is fine but lately I have had a burning sensation and can often feel something running back towards the back passage - I assumed this was a urinary problem but I am wondering if it is a discharge rom the vaginal area - it seems to burn anyway and makes me very uncomfortable - I change my pads regularly and this does help - I have been using a cider vinegar and warm water wash and this does settle the area down. I am in NZ and the Dr's here change the Pessaries every 6 months - I have a ring Pessary which I do not remove myself.

I just came home from the doctor's office.
I'm so frustrated by the fact that I now have an pelvic infection from the pessary that I was wearing for 5 days. The odor was the biggest clue. It was quite painful when the doctor removed that thing. The now it's history!
My 64 year-old body has been doing pretty well until the past two years. The pelvic prolapse includes mild prolapse of the rectum, and medium prolapse of the bladder and the uterus.

I have had chronic pain for 14 months now. It starts shortly after morning bowel movement as a burning aching sensation which after about six hours becomes a dull ache. The pain gets much worse if I lean forward or lift heavy objects. I also have the sensation of my anal area pushing out.

I hope I've posted this in the right place! I've had a prolapse since I had a baby 7 years ago. The doctor said I could look at surgery eventually but it wasn't something they'd recommend until I was finished having children. I haven't had another and have only had sex once since, about 6 years ago and it was non-eventful enough that I don't remember much about it! I'm just starting to see someone else now and am getting very worried about it. I've been doing a good bit of pilates and kegel exercises lately and have noticed that it feels worse.

So, I was wondering... maybe I searched the forums incorrectly but is there already a topic that covers whether is one uses magnesium citrate if it is not then recommended to take the ascorbic acid? The magnesium citrate already has vitamin C, yes? being a combination of Magnesium carbonate and citric acid?

I don't want to overwork my system by taking too much vitamin C. I just want to manage regularity and keep things running smoothly.

Hi there!
