Personal Q - prolapse?
Hi Ladies,
Had a bit of a shock tonight. Was having a shower and felt very uncomfortable down below so after a check and a look in the mirror it looks like my insides have dropped! After much internet research (embaressing bodies site was excellent, they had photos) I think I may have a vaginal prolapse. I'm going to try and get into my GP asap, althougn intimate exams scare me poopless I know it has to be done, but I'm really unsettled.
Has anyone else had this? What happened? Could you recover/have more children? I know its very personal but if anyone could share an experience it would really help me xxx

Good luck!
i am off to the docs in next few weeks to ask about this as since my son who was 8ib norm vaginal delvery (although quite a big head) 17 months ago i have not felt the same 'down there' ha. sometimes it would be achey after sex and just didnt feel as well supported some how. anyhow since being pregnant again(nearly27 weeks) i am noticing ths more and have had a few episodes where i have been on long walks or on feet alot and seems more evident. asked hubs if feels dif to him but he says no, think idea just grosses him out tho and he wouldnt want to worry me. Anyways just concerned what it going to be like as baby gets bigger, and effects post birth. is vaginal birth best option etc.
anyways not much help, just wantd to reassure you that your not the only one to be contemplating this issue, let me know how you get on hun xxx
oh i know if its mild they refer to physio and try pelvic floor exs first as most people do hem wrong and wth muscle training can help, if not surgery is an option although in young peoplet hey try to pt this off as it can need further surgery again in future and try wait till after finished childbearing as this wil effect results each time. the better state muscles in pre surgery better outcome post surgery xxx
Good luck & don't worry it can be fixed!
Went to the doctor this morning who was a lovely lady, hubby came with me (he is solid gold) and she examined me and yes it is a prolapse. Because we move in a month she can't refer me to the physio here but I can set that up at my new place. It shouldn't affect my sex life or having another baby but will need surgery eventually as it won't go away but pelvic floors should help. I'm going to be starting them today!! I think it was due to my traumatic birth with my beautiful 11 month old boy, big head, back to back, getting stuck then episiotomy/blood loss and manual removal of placenta... Blimey and I'm planning another baby!! lol
If theres anyone out there with this and worrying please go and see your doc, they can assess its severity (mines moderate) and offer help, I'm the worst at having internals but for this its needed xxx
glad your doc was helpfl....i will def be going now xxx
Its worth going hun, I had such a nice doc to, she really helped. I hope you get a nice doc to xxx
