Hi i dont really want to go into too much embarassing detail but figure we are all ladies and maybe some of you have been there and can help?
I had my lo 13mths ago and have never really felt right there,the last few weeks ive had some discomfort.almost like thrush but without the discharge,i have had a sti check to be sure and it came back neg(i got it online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)anyway i examined myself in the mirror the other day because i just feel sore inside and i noticed a lump that wasnt there before sort of dropped down into my vagina..it isnt really sore as such just i feel uncomfortable in that area but i know it wasnt there before!!!!!!!!!!!
Im making an opointment with the Docs on Mon but just wondering if anyone can help in the meantime...i just look disfigured now and i hate it,feel bloody huge anyway since lo was born and now this!!!!!!!!!!!!!seems to never end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for reading,god the things we have to endure huh?

Normally with a prolapse bladder you will have had a bit of muscle weakness with your bladder and needing to urinate more frequently or had problems with 'dribbling' when laughing or coughing.
I know you didn't want to go into too much detail and completely understand this.
I hope this has been a help
Good Luck
I have just read your post.
Did you go to the doctors and what was the outcome?
I went to the doctors last week as have been experiencing the same problems and they said my bladder had prolapsed.
I have got to see a specialist next week and they will have a further check and let me know what they will do to correct it.
There was talk of a pessary ring.
I hear it's actually quite common but not many of us chat about it or seek advise yet it is easily repaired.
I'm looking forward to getting it sorted, it' killing my sex life we were just getting things back on track after my son was born and this happens. They said it shouldn't stop me still hving sex but to be honest its ot comfortable at all so I'd rather wait until all is corrected and then make up for lost time ;\)

there are 2 ways of doing it too- one is through your vagina, the other is "lifting" it up from inside the abdomen which means abdominal surgery. the aim with any surgery is to do the minimal trauma to you, but it would depend on how bad / where etc
it is possible, but unusual for the uterus to prolapse down - you would actually see your cervix first, as this is the bottom part of your uterus. it looks a bit like a donot without the actual hole - bit of a dimple really, and quite red. you would prob have quite a bit of pain with this too.
however, sometimes you can just get large cysts in your vagina - not cancerous or anything like that, but they can be quite large!! these often need a quick nick to drain them, then antibiotics.
