Prolapsed Uterus - Slinger,WI

I was recently in your position, waiting to get in to see the doc, and wondering what was going on. I also have prolapsed uterus, bladder and rectum..yikes! It's very uncomfortable at times, but "nothing that can't wait," according to my doctor. After seeing a doctor, I was told I had three options: do nothing, have a hysterectomy, or try something called a pessary. Obviously I'm not sure, but I am guessing you would have the same three options.

I also went to see a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist at Mayo Clinic, which seems strange but was very helpful in making me feel like I was doing something. I'm not sure yet if the exercises are helping, as I haven't been doing them long.

I was initially quite opposed to the pessary, but may end up going that direction after all. At least it could be a short-term fix, and maybe in a few years when my little ones are older, I would do surgery. I hate to say this, but my doctor says it won't get better. I can either maintain where I'm at, or it will get worse. Some on-line research suggests otherwise, which is one reason I'm not terribly anxious to do surgery right away.

Good luck. I would be interested in hearing about your doctor's advice.

Hi there,

I have a prolapse front and back vaginal wall as well as a grade 1 prolapsed uterus. It is horrible to deal with and don't let the doctors not help you. I was left for months before being able to see a Gynocologist and did'nt know what was wrong. I had a natural long birth with 2 hours of pushing, lots of tearing etc. Everything healed well after but two months later I did some heavy lifting which caused the prolapse of everything. I spent quite a lot of time being depressed over it but hey it has improved now and it doesn't bother me too much these days. Since I plan to have another baby I am going to wait until Ive finished my family before considering having surgery to get everything back to normal, or I may not have it at all. It is not as bad as it sounds but it is unpleasent so seek some help and get onto some pelvic floor exercises :)

I have a sister with a prolapse. She's been living with it for about 6 years now with only mild discomfort. She got pregnant and had a baby with her prolapse as well. She was told she could just leave it as is for as long as she wanted and when she was ready they would do a hysterectomy.
