Prolapsed bladder

I was diagnosed with a prolapsed uterus. The consultant was pushing for me to have the mesh surgery but I refused after doing some research and found the negatives outweighed any positives. This was 15 years ago and I struggled on. Having said that, I found it helped me when I lost some weight. Inevitably my love of all things food meant the prolapse got steadily worse over the years so I went to the GP last year with a view to seeing if my uterus could be removed. At this point I was told it was actually a prolapsed bladder. After my prolapse first happened and due to so many experiencing problems with the mesh, the mesh repair was not encouraged but when I was referred last year, I was again offered surgery as I was at stage 3. I opted for a pessary to see if it helped before even considering surgery this time round. and wish I'd had this fitted long ago. I think I was lucky in that the nurse got the size right first time. She said it can be trial and error finding the right size for some and it needs perseverance. I know of one person that had the mesh and hasn't had any problems but know of another who has ongoing problems. Having read about success rates - apparently approx 70 - 85% success rate but likewise a fairly high percentage have to go through it again at about 5 years so it doesn't sound like a complete 'cure'. I've been waiting for an NHS physio appointment since last year so it may be worth going private. Why not try a pessary again. Hopefully your get the right size. I wish you all the best.(Sorry for the long post)

I have a prolapse and fiubd a private physio helped. There’s a squeezy app free I use it to make me do pelvic floor exercises. I had a pessary but got uti , I want to avoid surgery as we

I am really sorry that you are going through this. Have you discussed visiting a pelvic floor physio or tried to find one in your area? They are well trained in the mechanics of prolapse and whilst not doctors, can often offer advice on living practices.
