Vaginal Prolapse

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW SEX IS AFTER PROLAPSE SURGERY? IS IT PAINFUL, NO DIFFERENT, HOW IS YOUR ABILITY TO ORGASM

[dani32]

I'm wondering the same thing...I'm supposed to have surgery in a few months and I'll tell you I'm SO scared that my sex life will suck!!

I had this surgery in January. It was terrible. Sex now is painful.

[dani32]

Painful as in what? Ripping feeling? Or does it hurt with penetration, or when he goes too deep does it feel like he's hitting something? Right now I have that problem, he hits something and it hurts so bad! I'm only 33 and my sex life has drastically changed over the course of 2 years. I had my first baby in 98, I had another in 08, and one this march. The dr. says it was hard on my body and he says he can fix me, he guaranteed it actually. But who knows? The more I read about the outcome of this it terrifies me! What was the recovery like? Painful? Were you able to do things around the house and stuff? Thank you for answering my questions, it means alot!

This prolapse is very hard to get over. I hope you will talk to your dr. in detail about what should happen. I got an infection,and my stiches healed on the inside before my stiches healed on the outside. It was just terrible. I was in bed for 3 months. I could not even turn over by myself. My husband was with me day and night. Good luck.

When we try to have sex he can only enter me just a little. The Dr. has said I need to be streached. He told me to get a vaginal dialater. I have not at this point. NO I could not do anything around the house. You will need help 24/7. If I lived close to you I would help you. It is terrible. Please have someone to help you. I fainted one time when I got out of bed. I had a cather for 6 weeks. My bladder would not wake up. Ask you Dr. lots of questions. Good Luck.

Thank you so much for all the info. I was wondering, would it be possible to send you an e-mail? (That way it would be a little more private?) Thanks again

[dani32]

Thanks! I'll be e-mailing in the next few days! It's so nice to have someone else to talk to about this! Well, NOT nice it sucks that we're both going through this but you know what I mean!!

I had this surgery 12 days ago and am doing pretty well. Yes at times it was difficult but already I am feeling glad that I had the surgery. I am able to be up and about, never had any trouble doing stairs (I was scared that would be a problem). Stopped taking the strong pain meds on day 10 and am okay. BM's are a little painful but other than that I really can't complain.

I had a Hysterectomy, A and P repair, Intestine repair and other bits done. My doctor has called me at home twice and tells me it was an extensive surgery 4 hours and to take it easy. I am taking it easy but am able to get up and shower, get dressed, make sandwich, fold laundry etc.

SEX will be in the future they say 6 to 8 weeks, I'm thinking more like 24 at this point. So let me know how it goes for you ladies as I will be very interested.

Just wondering, how old are you? I'm 33 and they (drs) say that my age SHOULD play a part in the recovery. I'm SO afraid, I'm booked for Oct. 1. I have a 4 month old and a 16 month old. I've already been told I will pretty much be stuck in bed for 8 weeks. How is that possible??!!
