hi had tectocele surgery 11 weeks ago ,have had lower backache for weeks now heavy feeling in my vagina ,i think my cervux seems very low now help
i had a lot of discomfort when my cervix and everything lowered before my period. For some reason its stuck around for almost 2 weeks. I'm going insane because I feel fullness too. I want to know if it improves after it all stops. I'm only 2 weeks removed so swelling is a factor too probably.
11 weeks is very early and you are still in the healing process therefore it just swollen. eventually it will go down and your body will get back to normal
hooefully that is the reason was getting a bit worried as it only hapoened a fee days ago ,it felt like everything was heavy down below x
can you feel the cervix inside vag? I could feel my cervix if I placed finger inside. I would not advise this if yiur still healing.id waitbtill after 12 weeks.
hi yes it just felt quite low and with the heaviness i was worried ,as i had not suffered until now , terrible low back pain for 3 weeks not had this before either xx
its sounds like yiur uterus has dropped. sometimes when we have a repair it finds a weakness elsewhere.. theses repairs can make other prolapse I'm afraid if the pelv9 floor and tissues are weak. I'd go back to yiur consultant most definitely. x
hi welshgirl ,i have my 12 week checkup on thursday will see what he says xx
good luck. I'm sure it will all work out. this happened to me after my first anterior repair. it brought my uterus down 1cm from entrance on straining. I opted for my tvh last year and all is finex
how many times have you had to do the repair?
will let you know tomorrow ,its good to hear the outcome ,it is very sore too when i wee ,fingers crossed nothing has hapoened xx
good news ,all healing nicely ,nothing abnormal found ,what a relief ,no sex for another 2 weeks , 14 weeks that will be ,i am fine with that lol
I had anterior repair twice but after first my uterus dropped.
no dropped uterus? Jim so pleased for you. healing takes months so may be yiu gave been over worrying like I did after my first. these repairs leave us very insecure I can tell you. us women go through hell from childbirth to menopause then all these issues. look after yourself. xx
i was wondering if anyone else has been given premarin cream. i was told to use it week 2 & 3 but because of my continuous cycle, i havent. im worried scar tissue will be worse bc i cant use it.
thanks welshgirl ,he said not , he said he didnt want to touch anything other than my rectocele and complicate my recovery ,going back in 8 weeks ,he said my back problems arent related , at least i can go swimming on holiday now yay , he did say my rectocele was huge thats why nobody wanted to do my op , a couple of surgeons didnt want to do it , glad i was referred to him and his expertise xx
excellent.. yes getting the best surgeon is definitely the way to go. enjoy your
oops I meant to say holiday 😂😂
thanks welshgirl , off to north wales ,it better stop raining lol xx
I use vagifem which is vaginal estrogen but I'm age 51 and post menopause.
