In this video chronicling my pelvic organ prolapse repair, I describe pain from overdoing it, trying to reduce my use of narcotic pain medication, and struggles with my suprapubic catheter. I also express concerns with not knowing “what’s normal” with pain and sensations, and discuss some things I did to manage my recovery.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am on day 5 post surgery and it really helps to hear that someone else has gone through what I’ve gone through and has recovered. Gives me alot of hope to not give up.

@Roxy483 Месяц назад

Your videos are incredibly helpful. Thank You for posting. I will be having the same procedures it sounds like.

Hello again, friend, Unlike you, I didn’t have my uterus removed, so I predict way fewer issues than you have. My three procedures were the repairs of the cystocele and rectocele, plus a ribbon to support my urethra.

My gosh I know this was a year ago but I feel so bad for everything I went through anyone who says this is nothing is insane and to be honest I feel it should be something that we should be at least a few days in the hospital but I hope you are feeling much more better now that everything is healed

Finally someone telling us what we really needed to hear! I'm 4wks out and it still hurts. I stopped taking the Oxycodone two days in ,because I felt so dizzy and sick when I tried to stand up. The leg pains are terrible, and the catheter was a whole other pain. Once I (not the doctor) took the catheter out I couldn't control the peeing. I called the nurse crying because it seemed to be worse! So again thank you. I wish I had found you prior to the sugary. It does help knowing this is not uncommon.

I’m holding onto my “period panties” now that you’ve warned us about the leakage. I’m ten years post-menopausal, but bought them for the gym.

I really appreciate you sharing your surgery story. This is helping me a lot to know what to expect after surgery

@trudyduggins7253 Год назад

When I had this done I only had a catheter in72hours in hospital ❤

@christinem.8587 2 месяца назад

I’m suggesting that you call doctor and ask for zofran or compazine, take it before you take the narcotic and it will prevent you from feeling nauseous afterwards. That’s my regimen for my patients in the hospital.

mam how did you fix prolapse

@carlamarquette822 Год назад

Question what type of surgery did you have why did you need a catheter? I just have to have a rectocele surgery only so I’m so scared I can’t do a catheter I’m so prone to infections with a catheter

@personalprolapsestory Год назад

Hi Carla. My understanding is that you’ll have a urethral catheter during any surgery where you are put to sleep. I had a special suprapubic catheter that remained in my bladder for 10 days. I needed to to re-train my urine to push past the SVT tape that was used to fix my stress urinary incontinence issues. You shouldn’t need that for sure. You could ask your doc to put you on a short dose of antibiotics to prevent any UTI from the catheterization.

@SaintsWife924 Месяц назад

My doctor has prescribed me a daily dose of 50 mg. of nitrofurantoin to prevent bladder infections. I’m taking 100 mg right now as an added measure while I have the catheter.
